COURT OF APPEAL

HOLMES J

CA No 101 of 2001

THE QUEEN

v.

PETER DAWSON

BRISBANE

..DATE 22/08/2001

ORDER

THOMAS JA:  We have been supplied with letters on the Court file which show that the applicant knows that the appeal is pending and that he instructed his solicitors that he does not wish to pursue it.  He also apparently instructed his solicitors to file a notice of abandonment, but in the event, they did not succeed in having him sign the necessary form.

His name has been called and he has not appeared to prosecute the appeal.  In those circumstances I would propose to dismiss the application.

The order of the Court is application dismissed.
