    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC31/2010

    The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because the sentencing judge correctly applied established sentencing guidelines for large‑scale methamphetamine trafficking, appropriately fixed the starting point, properly treated the prior trafficking conviction as an aggravating feature warranting a one‑year enhancement, and the applicant's plea for clemency (age, family, debt, prior post‑release conduct) did not amount to a substantive ground to disturb the sentence.
