Where an appeal is lodged after expiry of the time limits provided for in articles 498, 500 or 505, where the appeal has become devoid of purpose, where it was lodged without complying with the formalities provided for in Article 502 or that it has been lodged outside the cases mentioned in article 546 or where the appellant has withdrawn his appeal, the president of the Criminal Appeals Chamber shall, ex officio, issue an order not to admit the appeal, which shall not be subject to appeal.
