The court held there was no merit in the application; the sentencing judge correctly combined the narcotics (total 1.13 kg), applied the Abdallah guideline with a starting point of 22 years, enhanced by 2 years for the international element to 24 years, and then properly reduced by one third for a timely guilty plea to 16 years; personal/family hardship did not provide a legal basis to reduce the sentence.
