Assevera equívoco em tal procedimento, porqouanto sería caso de suscitar conflito de competência. Deende, também, qu a aplicação do critério da prevanção (art. 83 do CPP) relativamente a várias ações penais em curso na Justiça Federa d Foz do Iguaçu/PR não se sustenta, pois tal fato tem como pressuposto doisi juízes igualmente competentes, o que não é o caso do s autos.

can not be upheld

Michael, I see why this is a tricky question - what they are saying is that the applicable criteria do not apply. The word 'sustain' does not go well in this phrase, because you can not sustain criteria. However, you can uphold criteria.
Therefore, I would get around it by saying that the applicable criteria can not be upheld in this case.
