R v Rhys Johnson-Warner

R v Rhys Johnson-Warner

The grounds of appeal are not reasonably arguable and have no real prospect of success. Any error in the single judge's reasoning was immaterial to the appropriateness of the sentence. There is no good reason to grant the lengthy extension of time for the renewed application. The sentence was not manifestly excessive.
