The application for extension of time and leave to appeal was refused because the applicant misinterpreted 'SEM' in Lau Tak Ming (which denoted a mixture purity category) as coextensive with the statutory chemical description 'salts of esters of morphine'; the admitted facts permitted aggregation of the separate quantities for sentencing; the delay was substantial and unjustified; and post-conviction assistance is an executive matter not warranting appellate intervention.
