IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION BY SIMON GOLDING FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL
[2021] HCASL 57
S13/2021
The applicant seeks an extension of time within which to file an application for special leave to appeal from a decision of this Court (Nettle J), dismissing, as an abuse of process, an application for an extension of time to seek special leave to appeal, for a second time, from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland (Gotterson, Morrison and McMurdo JJA), dismissing the applicant's appeal against conviction. The applicant was convicted in the Supreme Court of Queensland (Atkinson J) of charges of importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, namely cocaine, contrary to ss 11.2A(1) and (2), and 307.1(1) of the Criminal Code (Cth).
There is no reason to doubt the correctness of this Court's decision nor that of the Court of Appeal. As the application has no merit and any appeal to this Court has no prospect of success, it would be futile to grant the extension of time sought.
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.
M.M. Gordon S.H.P. Steward 8 April 2021
