PAUL HETHERINGTON
v
THE QUEEN
[2017] HCASL 62
S261/2016

1. The conclusion of the Court of Criminal Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales that the two year sentence imposed by the sentencing judge was manifestly inadequate was not attended by error. That being so, an appeal to this court would have no prospects of success.  Hence it would be futile to grant the extension of time sought.

2. 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.
