Extension of time to appeal was granted despite lack of strong excuse, but the substantive appeal was dismissed because family hardship in this case did not constitute the exceptional circumstances required to reduce the sentence of 15 months; the appellant's daughter's condition was being treated and his presence would not materially change her care, so the sentence stands.
