The applicant's unequivocal guilty plea and admitted acceptance that he believed the suitcase contained heroin preclude changing the plea; his post‑arrest cooperation produced no tangible result and therefore did not merit the significant discount given to D1; the one‑third discount for a timely plea was appropriate; health and family matters did not justify reduction. Accordingly the application to alter sentence/leave to appeal is dismissed and the sentence is affirmed.
