__________________

HAYNE J: The applicants, husband, wife and daughter, are citizens of India. They seek special leave to appeal against the orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Mansfield J) exercising the appellate jurisdiction of that Court. By those orders, Mansfield J dismissed the applicants' appeal (treated by his Honour as an application for leave to appeal) against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court (Driver FM) dismissing an application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) in respect of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal. The Tribunal had affirmed the decision of a delegate of the Minister to refuse to grant the applicants protection visas.

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

The applicants' written submissions follow a common form and raise no arguable ground for the grant of special leave.  We see no reason to doubt the correctness of the orders made by Mansfield 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 9.23 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
