present paper within 24 hours because, according to the regulations in force, the party concerned had to be informed in advance of the order.101 Accordingly he asked “[to be] allow[ed] to deposit in the secretariat, sufficient local currency to cover the cost of copying the whole file.”102. He added that in accordance with the principle of procedural economy, he would deposit 200 córdobas with the secretariat to cover photocopying costs.103 Mrs. Acosta's representative came up with the money that same day, but it was not accepted.104 On May 31, 2002, the District Criminal Court judge rejected the interlocutory appeal, arguing that Article 464 of the Code of Civil Procedure established the obligation of the appellant to provide the paper.105 54. On June 3, 2002, the District Criminal Court Judge declared the appeal filed on May 15, 2002 void, arguing that Mrs. Acosta's representative had failed to provide the paper needed to photocopy the file and had not offered the money required to that end.106 d. Continuation of the proceedings against Iván Argüello and Wilberth Ochoa, appeals, and motions for annulment 55. On May 26, 2002, the District Criminal Court Judge ordered Iván Argüello to appear within 15 days to answer charges.107 On May 29, 2002, the National Police presented an expert opinion determining that the bullet used to kill Mr. García Valle did not carry any identifying marks and that it pertained to a 25 caliber cartridge.108 56. On June 10 and July 22, 2002,109 Mrs. Acosta's legal representative filed the second incidental motion for annulment of all proceedings thus far with the District Criminal Court. The main complaint was that the authority had declared the appeal void, when such a declaration was no longer allowed under the Organic Law of the Judiciary.110 This appeal was declared groundless on August 5, 2002, because it was not a matter of annulments that might be asserted in the plenary phase.111 101 Appendix 99.
