Neither form of submission made coherent submissions as to why the trial judge's decision was affected by material error or otherwise gave rise to a miscarriage of justice. Nor did the material sought to be adduced by Mr Nash as additional evidence on the appeal disclose any miscarriage of justice.[...]. There is otherwise no jurisdictional basis to transfer criminal proceedings under State law in this Court to the court of another State. The authorities cited by Mr Nash in support of such jurisdiction do not exist; they are fictitious."The court dismissed the appeal, finding no merit in the grounds presented, and refused to admit additional evidence. No professional sanctions or monetary penalties were imposed as Nash was a pro se litigant.
