ORDER

06052008 D.1 T(1)13/EMT(BNE) M/T BRIS26 (Everson DCJ)

HIS HONOUR: In the matter of Carl Gary Chapman and Joshua	1
Luke Pascoe, which is an appeal pursuant to section 222 of the Justices Act 1886, Carl Gary Chapman appeals against a penalty imposed upon him on 19 November 2007 in the Caboolture Magistrates Court when he was convicted on his plea of guilty

10

to a charge of committing a public nuisance contrary to not appeared on the hearing of the appeal today.
section 6 of the Summary Offences Act 2005. He was sentenced
to 40 hours community service and a 12 month probation order.

20

Having regard to the matters set out in the Court file and the matters referred to in the submissions on behalf of the respondent, I dismiss the appeal. In particular, I'm of the view that, given the violent criminal history of Mr Chapman

30

which includes a number of convictions for offences of
violence and the version of events upon which he was convicted
which involved him acting in a violent way and threatening
other people including police officers, the sentence imposed

upon him cannot be said to be manifestly excessive.

40

...

HIS HONOUR: The appeal is dismissed.
