AUDSLEY

v

THE QUEEN

[2018] HCASL 290
M113/2018

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to file the application for special leave to appeal.  The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal and otherwise advances no arguable ground of appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Priest JA, Maxwell P and Beach JA agreeing) refusing the applicant's application for leave to appeal against conviction of one count of aggravated burglary, one count of common assault, one count of recklessly causing serious injury and one count of armed robbery.  An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospect of success.  It would therefore be futile to grant the extension that is sought.  Special leave should be refused.

2. Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
