    CACC216/2008

    The sentencing judge was entitled to adopt the individual approach, identifying starting points of three years for the cocaine and two years for the ketamine, and the combined starting point of four years (after adjustment) was not manifestly excessive; the final sentence of three years imprisonment after reduction for guilty plea was proper, so leave to appeal was dismissed.
