DANIEL AMES

v

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS
FOR THE STATE OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA
[2024] HCASL 18
A19/2023

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of South Australia (Livesey P, Bleby and David JJA) dismissing the applicant's second appeal against his conviction for murder. The application has insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.

2. The application for special leave to appeal is refused.
