The appeal was dismissed because the Court found the sentencing judge had properly identified the gravity of the offence, lawfully adopted a three-year starting point, and applied appropriate discounts (one year for plea/co-operation and three months for foreigner hardship); the judge had taken into account family pressure and employment consequences and there was no shown basis to interfere with the concurrent 21-month terms.
