Otherwise the protest shall be denied.
J. Upon completion of review of the protest, the attached member of the Criminal Review Office will render a judgment, in which the penal order will be either sustained or nullified without modifying the penalty. Statutes regarding content requirements of the judgment from Part IV., Chapter 4, §5. apply analogously.
