Therefore, if the defendant made a statement that he accepts the primary claim in the appellate court's pleading, it would have the same effect as a final and conclusive judgment by stating it in the protocol. The conclusion that the lower court dismissed the request for reexamination of this case is justifiable and it is not acceptable to appeal

The appeal is without merit, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
