Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The defendant's grounds of appeal are examined.
Although the grounds for appeal are limited to the fact that the defendant filed an appeal against the judgment of the court of first instance and that the determination of punishment is unfair, if the appellate court dismisss the appeal by the judgment of the defendant, the defendant cannot be viewed as the grounds for appeal against the judgment of the appellate court for lack of grounds for appeal (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 90Do1688, Oct. 10, 1990; 90Do2376, Nov. 27, 1990; 90Do2376, Nov. 27, 1990).
Therefore, the defendant's appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
