The Court upheld the sentencing judge's exercise of discretion: a 25-year starting point was appropriate for a leading conspirator given the export element, the large quantity and high narcotic content, sophistication and potential harm; a 12-year discount (48%) for early guilty plea and substantial assistance was substantial and appropriate; therefore leave to appeal against the 13-year sentence was refused.
