Leave to appeal out of time was refused because the applicant failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for an inordinate delay in filing the notice (delay was deliberate and unjustified); moreover the substantive appeal lacked merit because the sentencing starting point and one‑year enhancement were appropriate given the quantity and international importation of cocaine, and the forfeiture order was lawful; accordingly the sentence of 14 years 4 months and forfeiture stand.
