Refusal to grant extension of time to appeal against sentence was justified because the applicant's delay of about 3 years 10 months was inordinate and unexplained, the proposed grounds (ill‑health and foreignness) are not substantial or plainly arguable grounds for reducing sentence and medical care was being provided in custody; a post‑sentence attempt to contradict a guilty plea could not be entertained and therefore leave to appeal out of time must be refused.
