    Although the starting point of 30 years was on the high side, it fell within the established range for the very large quantity of methamphetamine involved; a full and generous discount for the guilty plea resulted in an effective sentence of 17 years which was not wrong in principle or manifestly excessive, and therefore the application for leave to appeal was dismissed.
