HAYNE J:   The applicant, a citizen of India, seeks special leave to appeal against orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (French J) made in the exercise of the appellate jurisdiction of that Court. By those orders, French J dismissed the applicant’s appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court (Smith FM) dismissing the applicant’s application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) directed to the Refugee Review Tribunal in respect of its decision affirming the refusal of a delegate of the Minister to grant the applicant a protection visa. French J considered that the Tribunal had not been shown to have made any error of law, had not been shown to have denied the applicant procedural fairness, and had not been shown to have failed to comply with s 424A of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).

Because the applicant is unrepresented, the application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of French J.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.28 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
