MR P. RIDGWAY (instructed by the Director of Prosecutions) for the respondent

PINCUS JA: Mr Schmid, you’re appearing for yourself today, are you?

APPLICANT: Yes, Your Honour.

PINCUS JA: And what’s to happen with this case?

APPLICANT: I’m withdrawing my application.

PINCUS JA: It’s an application for leave to appeal against sentence, and you don’t want to pursue it any further?

APPLICANT: No.

PINCUS JA: The application for leave to appeal against sentence is dismissed.

MR RIDGWAY: May it please Your Honour, may I just point out that on the papers there does appear also to be a conviction point mentioned in the notice of appeal, but not in the grounds. It may be useful to clarify that.

PINCUS JA: And you don’t want to raise an appeal against conviction either?

APPLICANT: No, Your Honour.

PINCUS JA: Very well. The appeal against conviction is dismissed.
