TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 3 OCTOBER 2007, AT 9.20 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

GUMMOW J:   The applicant seeks special leave to appeal against the orders of the Court of Criminal Appeal of the Supreme Court of South Australia dismissing his appeal against convictions for serious criminal trespass in a place of residence and attempted wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and corresponding sentence imposed by Millsteed J in the District Court of South Australia.

The application is brought out of time and the applicant seeks an order under r 41.02.2 of the High Court Rules 2004 dispensing with the requirement to comply with the time limit in r 41.02.1.

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

The applicant's written submissions advance no questions of law that would justify a grant of special leave to appeal, nor is there any reason to doubt the correctness of the conclusions reached in the courts below.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. I publish the disposition signed by Justice Kiefel and myself.

AT 9.21 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
