DONOHUE
v
THE QUEEN
[2020] HCASL 130
M23/2020
The applicant requires an extension of time in which to seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Priest and Beach JJA) dismissing an application for an extension of time in which to seek leave to appeal against his conviction following a trial in the County Court of Victoria of 12 charges of making a false document, three charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice and four charges of perjury, for which a total effective sentence of four years and five months' imprisonment with a non-parole period of two years and nine months had been imposed.
It would be futile to grant the extension of time which is sought. The applicant identifies no question of principle which it would be in the interests of justice for this Court to consider and no reason to doubt the correctness of the Court of Appeal's judgment. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospect of success.
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.
