7B_984/2025: Inadmissibility of an appeal procedure regarding the conversion of a fine into substitute imprisonment
Summary of the Facts
The fine of CHF 100 imposed on A.________ for a violation of traffic regulations was converted by the Tribunal d'application des peines et des mesures of the Canton of Geneva into a substitute imprisonment of one day due to non-payment.

A.________ then appealed to the Federal Court.
Summary of the Considerations
- **E. 1.1:** According to Art. 42 para. 1 and 2 BGG, appeals to the Federal Court must be substantiated and demonstrate how the contested ruling violates applicable law. This requires specific and subject-related criticism of the considerations of the lower court. - **E. 1.2:** A.________ did not do this, but merely criticized the factual findings without substantively challenging the legal assessment of the cantonal courts (especially regarding Art. 36 and 106 para. 5 StGB). - **E. 1.3:** The appeal obviously does not meet the requirements according to Art. 42 BGG and is therefore declared obviously inadmissible based on the simplified procedural rule according to Art. 108 para. 1 lit. b BGG. - **E. 2:** Since the appeal has no prospects of success, the requested free legal assistance according to Art. 64 para. 1 BGG is also denied. The single judge is responsible for this according to Art. 108 BGG.
Summary of the Dispositive Part
The appeal is declared inadmissible, the request for free legal assistance is denied, and the court costs are imposed on A.________.
