Practice question
An accused receives the appealable criminal resolution for a CTA En Banc petition after satisfying the applicable preliminary review steps. Counsel waits twenty days, relying solely on a supposed universal thirty-day tax-appeal period. No extension, special counting issue or exceptional relief applies. What is the central defect?
- The governing fifteen-day period was not met
- Every tax appeal has thirty days regardless of its route
- The criminal nature eliminates all deadlines
- A later tax return necessarily cures the delay
- The accused may set a new deadline by letter
