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

1. Mr Sullivan, for the reasons which we have given in talking to you about your application for leave to appeal after a conviction for recklessly causing serious injury sustained in the County Court on 7 July of this year, we feel we have no power to intervene and reduce your sentence. The only thing that we would add is that we hope that you will find it possible, although you will have to serve a further period in prison, to keep out of trouble for the rest of your life.

2. I am afraid we must refuse, and hereby do refuse, your application.

APPLICANT:
3	Thank you, Your Honours.
