The Court refused leave because the sentencing judge lawfully exercised discretion: he considered mitigation (including guilty plea, surrender and assistance), appropriately discounted the sentence from a potential 7 years to 3 years given the prolonged, large-scale conspiracy and substantial losses, and there was no error of principle or demonstrated manifest excess to justify appellate intervention.
