ORMISTON, J.A. (delivering the judgment of the Court):

1. Mr Barjamovic, what you have said today may, if somebody has the opportunity to look at it, provide you with the means of complaint against particular individuals.  But nothing you have raised to us in the court today, even by your own admission before us today, would show that the judge erred in sentencing you.  In this Court, subject to any question of fresh evidence, we can only deal with whether the judge made an error in sentencing you, and you have not shown that he did.  Moreover, if we might say so, it appeared that those sentences that you were given, as the President said to you a few months ago, seem to be perfectly appropriate for the kind of offences with which you were charged.  So we cannot give you any relief today and we must refuse your application.

1. The application is dismissed.
