The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.
According to the records, the defendant appealed against the judgment of the court of first instance, and asserted a mistake of facts as the grounds for appeal along with unreasonable sentencing and mental and physical disorder, but withdrawn the grounds for appeal concerning mistake of facts on the first trial of the court below.
In such a case, the argument that there is an error of mistake in the judgment of the court below shall not be a legitimate ground for appeal.

Other grounds for appeal by the defendant may not be legitimate grounds for appeal under Article 383 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
