Appeal-counsel applications under s. 684: CA46979 dismissed for no material change in circumstances; CA47391 received a limited counsel appointment for the conviction appeal only.
Assignment of state funded counsel under s.684 is denied because, although the appellant lacks means, she failed to raise arguable or complex issues: the record including a detailed agreed statement of facts and a full s.606 colloquy shows her plea was voluntary and informed, she is able to comprehend and present the appeal, and the Crown and appellate process can safeguard fairness without assigned counsel.
