TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 25 MAY 2005, AT 9.37 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from the order of the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Western Australia dismissing his appeal against the sentence imposed on him for being knowingly concerned in the importation of a trafficable quantity of heroin.  He asserts that his sentence was fixed on the basis that he would receive treatment for Hepatitis C while in prison but that in fact he has not received that treatment.

It is not arguable that there has been any miscarriage of justice in this case.  The application for special leave should be dismissed.

Pursuant to rule 41.11.1 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order that the application is dismissed.  I publish that disposition.

AT 9.38 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
