The renewed out‑of‑time application for leave to appeal against sentence is dismissed because the proposed grounds are unmeritorious: the sentencing judge rightly adopted a 3‑year starting point for attempted domestic burglary, properly assessed mitigation and prior convictions, and there are no substantial grounds to disturb the sentence; however the court exercised its s83W power to disallow 6 weeks of custody pending appeal because the applicant persisted after receiving a loss‑of‑time warning.
