ANTONIEVIC v R [2017] NZCA 87

ANTONIEVIC v R [2017] NZCA 87 [28 March 2017]NOTE: PUBLICATION OF NAME, ADDRESS, OCCUPATION ORIDENTIFYING PARTICULARS OF THE COMPLAINANT PROHIBITEDBY S 203 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ACT 2011.IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF NEW ZEALANDCA451/2016[2017] NZCA 87BETWEEN MANSON ANTONIEVICAppellantAND THE QUEENRespondentHearing: 7 March 2017Court: Winkelmann, Woodhouse and Collins JJCounsel: P E Dacre QC for AppellantZ R Johnston for RespondentJudgment: 28 March 2017 at 12.30pmJUDGMENT OF THE COURTA An extension of time to appeal is granted.B The application to adduce fresh evidence on appeal is granted.C The appeal against sentence is dismissed.D The Registry is to follow the directions given at [47] of this judgment.____________________________________________________________________REASONS OF THE COURT(Given by Winkelmann J)[1] The appellant, Mr Antonievic, pleaded guilty to charges of sexual violation by rape, sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection (oral sex) and injuring with intent to injure. On 23 April 2015 in the High Court at Christchurch, Nation Jentered convictions accordingly and, on the charges of rape and unlawful sexual connection, sentenced Mr Antonievic to a term of preventive detention with a minimum period of six years' imprisonment.1 On the charge of injuring with intentto injure, he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment.2 The sentences were to be served concurrently.3[2] Mr Antonievic now appeals against the imposition of a sentence of preventive detention. He does not challenge his eligibility for preventive detention, nor does he assert the sentencing Judge applied an incorrect legal test in reaching the view that preventive detention was necessary. His counsel, Mr Dacre QC, concedes that the Judge addressed himself to the correct issues and no criticism is made of the structure of the sentencing. Nevertheless, Mr Antonievic contends that Nation J erred in imposing a sentence of preventive detention because he failed to appropriately weigh the applicable factors.[3] This appeal was filed on 5 September 2016, more than a year beyond the time period allowed for appeals. The Crown accepts it is not prejudiced by the delay and does not oppose the grant of an extension of time to appeal. An extension is granted.BackgroundThe offending[4] Immediately following his release on 8 July 2013 from a sentence of imprisonment for assaults upon his previous partner, Mr Antonievic began living with his 16-year-old girlfriend. Over the next two days they engaged in violent but consensual sex. Mr Antonievic cut his girlfriend with a craft knife and had her cut him. On 9 July 2013 there was an incident where Mr Antonievic popped his shoulder out during sex. Mr Antonievic is not charged in respect of these incidents but they form part of the necessary and distressing background to the offending. In the early evening of 10 July 2013, the victim was in severe pain from sexual intercourse over the preceding two days. An ambulance was called and1 R v Antonievic [2015] NZHC 799 at [93].2 At [94].3 At [94].Mr Antonievic travelled to a medical centre with the victim. The victim was advised to avoid all sexual activity for a period of two weeks.[5] Mr Antonievic was aware of this medical advice but once they had returned home he forced the victim to have sex with him. He told her he could not wait two weeks and, when she refused to have sex, he forced her legs open and raped her. This despite her protests and expressions of pain. On that day and the next, Mr Antonievic repeatedly made the victim perform oral sex on him, although the victim told him she did not want to.[6] In the evening of 11 July 2013 Mr Antonievic became angry at the victim because of something she told him. She tried to leave the address but he chased her and cornered her in the kitchen. He pushed her up against the wall, placed his hands around her throat and began to strangle her. This while yelling obscenities at her and telling her he was going to kill her. The victim managed to push him off and attempted to escape but Mr Antonievic again grabbed her and pushed his thumb into her throat, thereby causing difficulty with her breathing. He then punched her twice in the stomach which caused her to bleed between her legs. He continued to assault her, and got a large kitchen knife from a drawer and said he was going to kill her.[7] The victim escaped by climbing a six-foot-high fence, injuring her back in the process, and barricading herself in a nearby house. Although Mr Antonievic followed her to the house and pushed his way into the room in which she was barricaded, he did not attack her further. The victim received bruises to her throat from his attack, causing difficulty swallowing for some time as well as a number of other bruises and cuts.Offending history[8] Mr Antonievic was 19 at the time of this offending and these are his first convictions for sexual offences. His criminal record evidences that he had multiple appearances in the Youth Court, with nine cases proved against him including charges of wilful damage, theft, possession of a firearm, possession of a knife, and injuring with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He has a further 21 convictions in the District Court. Many are for relatively minor offending but there are alsoconvictions for violent offending. These convictions include common assault, assault with intent to injure, wilful damage and male assaults female.Procedural background to sentence[9] Mr Antonievic pleaded guilty to this most recent offending. He was to be sentenced in the District Court but prior to sentencing police obtained a letter he wrote to his father from prison which described an obsession with "murdering chicks". The Crown indicated an intention to have the sentencing court considerpreventive detention and, as a consequence, Mr Antonievic was remanded to the High Court for sentencing.Sentencing in the High Court at Christchurch[10] Four reports were prepared for sentencing. A report under s 38 of the Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act 2003 by a clinical psychologist was prepared to assist with sentencing. Once a sentence of preventive detention was contemplated, reports from two further psychologists were ordered pursuant to s 88 of the Sentencing Act 2002. The standard pre-sentence report was also prepared.[11] Based in part on Mr Antonievic's account but corroborated to some extent by the state's intervention in his young life, a picture emerges that Mr Antonievic had a childhood characterised by neglect and abuse, with intermittent and ultimately ineffectual state intervention. Mr Antonievic claims to have been physically and sexually abused during his childhood. Both parents abused substances and his father spent a lot of time in jail when he was a child. Child Youth and Family Services were involved with the family and there were indications that Mr Antonievic and his siblings received drugs while in the care of their parents. Mr Antonievic reported witnessing serious sexual violence in the home.[12] The children were removed from the parents' care when Mr Antonievic was five years old and placed with a paternal aunt and her husband. However, Mr Antonievic reported that the children were also physically abused in that household. This account is corroborated to some extent by state records. He wasremoved from his aunt and uncle's care five years later. He then passed through six,possibly more, Child Youth and Family placements including a youth justice facility. Mr Antonievic has reported that his brother (it seems an adopted brother) died in an accident and that his sister was murdered.[13] Mr Craig Prince, consultant clinical psychologist and the author of one of the s 88 reports, summarised Mr Antonievic's psychiatric history as follows:At the age of about 6 years, at the time of being removed from his parent's care, he appeared traumatised and exhibited inappropriate sexual behaviour. By the age of 8 years, his behavioural difficulties included extreme anger outbursts (which included threatening to stab his aunt), damaging property, and smearing faeces. He was seen by mental health services and diagnosed with ADHD and reactive attachment disorder (difficulty relating to othersdue to pathological early care). In 2010 [while in a youth justice facility], he was prescribed [an antidepressant].In 2013, while in prison, he was assessed by a consultant forensic psychiatrist and forensic psychologist. He also reported long-standing violent fantasies towards people whom he perceived had let him down. The impression was that he did not have any mood or psychotic disorder, but that his violent preoccupation reflected a maladaptive personality structure developed in the context of serious adversity in his early life.[14] Mr Antonievic suffered a severe head injury as a result of an attack with a baseball bat when he was 15 — this left him with headaches, tinnitus, sleep problems and volatile behaviour. He received no treatment for that head injury. He also suffers from severe asthma and has been hospitalised for such in the past. One of the s 88 reports stated that Mr Antonievic has never been employed in any capacity.[15] Mr Antonievic reports that he first used methamphetamine when he was 12 years old and was addicted to it by the time he was 15. During the four days prior to this most recent offending he used methamphetamine, daytura, alcohol and codeine. He reported feeling normal when using methamphetamine but said"the demons" appeared when he came off it.[16] The s 38 report prepared by Dr Sue Galvin, clinical psychologist, records Mr Antonievic's account that he has had mental images of killing his ex-partner (the partner prior to the victim of the present offending) and violent sexual fantasies.He reported hearing voices screaming in his head all the time. He described his tendency to flip into a very angry state which could be triggered by something as innocuous as a baby crying.[17] Dr Galvin summarised Mr Antonievic's clinical presentation as follows:Mr Antonievic has a longstanding diagnosis of reactive attachment disorder arising out of various forms of early abuse and neglect, and which continues to be reflected in difficulty sustaining an equal, trusting relationship and his explosive and violent response to feeling rejected. He now meets criteria for antisocial personality disorder, but also exhibits more general maladaptive personality features, including features of borderline personality disorder; all these personality problems have possible origins in the complex trauma and social modelling he experienced. He has developed violent fantasies with a sexual element that he is ambivalent about trying to learn to change or manage, and usually pictures no future other than gaining notoriety by being very violent.[18] Dr Galvin referred to a risk assessment undertaken by another psychologist for prison services, Ms Bateup, which placed Mr Antonievic at very high risk of reoffending. Dr Galvin expressed her agreement with that assessment. She said of Mr Antonievic:His reports of preoccupation with violent fantasies combined with his explosive anger and no sense of control of what he does during these episodes has raised considerable concern about his risk of violence to others.[19] Ms Richards, senior clinical psychologist, was the author of the other s 88 report. Mr Antonievic reported to Ms Richards that he felt indifferent to any suffering experienced by his victims and that he did not like human beings. He described a significant hostility towards women, particularly in regard to their perceived infidelity, as well as a sexual history reflective of such hostility. Mr Antonievic reported directing aggression and violence towards the women in his life, particularly those he perceived as having rejected him in some way.[20] Ms Richards noted strong evidence to suggest the presence of sexual preoccupation and sexual deviance particularly in relation to engagement in coercive and sadistic sexual practices. Although the use of substances were thought to exacerbate Mr Antonievic's use of violence, Ms Richards' opinion was thatsubstance abuse was not necessary for Mr Antonievic to engage in dramatic behaviours and, ultimately, to harm others.[21] Ms Richards noted the extent of Mr Antonievic's misconduct in prison whichincluded displays of provocation, aggression, fighting and threatening staff.[22] Ms Richards used risk assessment instruments to assess Mr Antonievic's riskof further offending. He was found to be at high risk of further sexual offending andvery high risk of further violent offending. Ms Richards' opinion was that anyprocess of change to reduce his violent and sexual reoffending risk would likely require intensive treatment given the entrenched nature and complexity of his presentation, including the presence of personality traits that severely disrupted his ability to adapt to society in a safe functional manner. She said he presented with few discernible protective factors but continued: however an expressed motivation to attend any treatment as indicated, his recent medication compliance, and improvement in behaviour while in an isolated unit is considered notable, and will potentially assist to decrease the likelihood of prison based violence if sustained.[23] We return to the s 88 report prepared by Mr Prince. Mr Prince recorded Mr Antonievic's statement to him that he watched documentaries on murderers, serial killers and the like, and sometimes voiced his desire for publicity about his (future) offending. However, when he was questioned about this he said he watched the programmes out of interest and in an effort to understand the human mind. He said he had no desire to be an infamous offender.[24] Mr Antonievic reported he was in J-Block (maximum security) because of violent incidents.[25] Mr Prince concurred with Ms Bateup's risk assessment. He agreed thatMr Antonievic was at high risk of committing violent and sexual offences in the future although the successful completion of treatment programmes might reduce that level of risk. Like Ms Richards, he noted Mr Antonievic's very negative view of women. He also observed that Mr Antonievic was very young when he offended and that some of his behaviour might be explained by youth impulsivity.Statutory framework[26] The statutory preconditions for the imposition of a sentence of preventive detention are set out in s 87(2) of the Sentencing Act in the following way:(a) a person is convicted of a qualifying sexual or violent offence (as that term is defined in subsection (5)); and(b) the person was 18 years of age or over at the time of committing the offence; and(c) the court is satisfied that the person is likely to commit another qualifying sexual or violent offence if the person is released at the sentence expiry date (as specified in subpart 3 of Part 1 of the Parole Act 2002) of any sentence, other than a sentence under this section, that the court is able to impose.[27] It is common ground these preconditions were met. Section 87(4) sets out matters a judge must take into account when deciding whether to impose a sentence of preventive detention:(4) When considering whether to impose a sentence of preventive detention, the court must take into account—(a) any pattern of serious offending disclosed by the offender'shistory; and(b) the seriousness of the harm to the community caused by the offending; and(c) information indicating a tendency to commit serious offences in future; and(d) the absence of, or failure of, efforts by the offender to address the cause or causes of the offending; and(e) the principle that a lengthy determinate sentence is preferable if this provides adequate protection for society.Sentencing notes[28] Because of the principle that a lengthy determinate sentence is preferable if it provides adequate protection for society, before considering the issue of preventive detention, the Judge had to first determine the finite sentence Mr Antonievic would be exposed to.4 He took as the lead offence, for the purposes of sentencing, the4 R v Antonievic, above n 1, at [25].offence of rape. He noted as aggravating features of the offending that the victim was a vulnerable person, in a relationship with Mr Antonievic and only 16 years of age to his 19 years. Moreover, Mr Antonievic knew that she had been injured, and advised on medical grounds that she should not participate in sexual activity, and it was with such knowledge that Mr Antonievic raped her. Nation J said that if sentencing on the rape alone he would have adopted a starting point of seven years,5but adding in the other sexual and additional violent offending he would haveadopted a starting point of 11 years' imprisonment.6 That starting point had to be further uplifted to reflect Mr Antonievic's previous criminal history and the fact thatthe offending occurred immediately upon his release from prison. Nation J did,however, also account for Mr Antonievic's relative youth and his traumatic upbringing.[29] Taking all these matters into account the Judge arrived at the starting point of14 years' imprisonment, from which a 20-per-cent discount for an early guilty plea was deducted. He said he was satisfied that a minimum period of imprisonment was appropriate and, if he was sentencing Mr Antonievic to a finite term of imprisonment, it would have resulted in a total sentence for the whole of the offending of 11 years with a minimum term of imprisonment of six years.7[30] The Judge then addressed the s 87 criteria. As to any pattern of serious offending, he noted that Mr Antonievic now had eight convictions for violent offences and two for sexual offences. He observed that there were instances of violence against women. As to harm to the community, he took into account not only the emotional and physical harm done to the victim of the most recent offending, but also the extent of violence toward women Mr Antonievic had disclosed in his discussion with the report writers.[31] As to the tendency to commit serious offences in the future, the Judge took into account the various report writers' assessment that Mr Antonievic was at a high risk of committing serious sexual and violent offences in the future.5 At [30].6 At [36].7 At [49].[32] As to the s 87(4)(d) criterion — "the absence of, or failure of, efforts by the offender to address the cause or causes of the offending" — the Judge was satisfied Mr Antonievic would require extensive and lengthy rehabilitation to address his violent and sexual offending, and substance abuse.[33] In relation to the principle that a lengthy determinate sentence is preferable if it provides adequate protection for society, s 87(4)(e), the Judge summarised the risk Mr Antonievic presents. He said that the risk he would be involved in serious sexual offending and serious violent offending was very high:[77] Those risks stem from your deep-seated psychological problems, your lack of insight into the harm you do others, the lack of empathy you show to any of your victims and the potential pleasure you imagine obtaining from violence associated, particularly with sex, but also with people generally. A psychologist's report of 3 December 2014 referred toyour fantasies of killing multiple people in a public place. Ms Richards said that, while you were with her, you generally appeared apathetic but became animated when discussing extensive violence or sexual activity. She referred to eighteen factors identified as moderately or strongly related to current violence risk. These included your violent lifestyle, violence during incarceration, weapon use and substance abuse. She said the factors she mentioned did provide a baseline for change should you engage in treatment.[34] The Judge was not satisfied that a finite term of imprisonment would adequately address these risks. Although he observed that Mr Antonievic had not had access to sustained treatment to that point in time, he thought the ability for Mr Antonievic to benefit from treatment programmes, given his failure to accept his victim had not consented to his conduct toward her, was limited. The Judge alsoreferred to the obstacle that Mr Antonievic's security classification might create forparticipation in such programmes, because the issue was whether he was "going tobe the sort of [prisoner] who can satisfactorily be dealt with within the prisonenvironment in participating in such a programme".8 He continued:[87] With a finite term of imprisonment, there would remain a risk that you would never be considered suitable for the sort of treatment programme you need, and would simply be allowed to complete any finite term of imprisonment that might be imposed. I also have regard to the fact that, with a finite term of imprisonment, the burden would shift to the Department of Corrections to have that term extended if you have not made the progress you need to and there remains a need to protect the community. That burden is significant involving, as it would, detailed further assessments and perhaps8 At [75].successive applications to the High Court. A sentence of preventive detention would ensure the Parole Board continued to be responsible for monitoring your progress and for ensuring the public are protected.[88] A sentence of preventive detention will leave you with the responsibility of doing what is necessary to ensure you can be safely released into the community. With a sentence of preventive detention, you may not be in prison any longer than you would be with a finite sentence, but the community will know that, through the sentence of preventive detention, there will always be significant protection for them against the risk which, on present information, you are likely to pose. It is for that reason I consider such a sentence is appropriate and necessary.[35] The Judge referred to Mr Prince's observation that the offending occurred when Mr Antonievic was 19 and that an adolescent can, with time, develop maturity and thereby reduce the risks that are associated with adolescent tendencies of the sort described by Mr Prince.9 But the Judge observed that Mr Antonievic's offending, and in particular the violence toward women, did not appear to have the hallmarks of adolescence. He rejected counsel's submission that a sentence of preventive detention would be so crushing that it would deprive Mr Antonievic of all hope.10He said that by imposing a sentence of preventive detention, he was increasing the chances of Mr Antonievic being able to participate in a special programme for sexual offenders, and for him to receive the treatment, counselling and support which might assist him in dealing with his drug abuse and underlying psychological problems. The Judge concluded:[84] Sentencing you to a term of, or to preventive detention with such a minimum term would, in my view,:(a) firstly, definitely protect the public from you for that minimum term of imprisonment;(b) it would ensure that you have time to mature and, through that, reduce the way you are currently a risk to the public;(c) it would give you the opportunity to participate in appropriate special treatment programmes if you are assessed as being suitable for them;(d) most importantly, Mr Antonievic, it would encourage you to take responsibility for your future.9 At [74].10 At [83].Argument on appeal[36] Mr Dacre submits the Judge failed to give sufficient weight to Mr Antonievic's youth and the crushing effect a sentence of preventive detentionwould have on a young man already struggling with the effects of a childhood of abuse and neglect. Because of Mr Antonievic's youth, his circumstances, and theabsence of very serious offending in his criminal history, the principle that a lengthy determinate sentence is to be preferred should have been given particular weight. The Judge failed to do that, instead giving too much weight to the fact that Mr Antonievic had failed to accept his responsibility for his offending, thereby reducing his chance of successful rehabilitation.[37] On Mr Dacre's submission, a lengthy sentence of imprisonment of, in this case, 11 years with a minimum period of imprisonment of six years together with extended supervision orders at the end would provide adequate protection for society. Although Mr Dacre acknowledged the extent of Mr Antonievic'spsychological and substance abuse issues, he emphasised the absence of:(a) a long history of offending;(b) a history of sexual offending; and(c) any sustained treatment for the causes of his offending.[38] In support of these submissions Mr Dacre sought leave to provide an additional report from a consultant psychiatrist, Dr Karl Jansen. Mr Dacre relies upon the clarification Dr Jansen provides as to the significance, for sentencing purposes, of Mr Antonievic's failure to accept responsibility for his offending and his ambivalence to change. Dr Jansen confirms that a refusal on Mr Antonievic's part to admit his offending is no barrier to treatment and the ambivalence about change expressed by Mr Antonievic is a normal stage in rehabilitation. Dr Jansen records that Mr Antonievic is now motivated to engage with appropriate treatment programmes and determined to cease use of methamphetamine. Dr Jansen describes Mr Antonievic as an intelligent verbal person who expresses some hope for the future, although that hope is in part centred on this appeal. Dr Jansen says that hopeis a very important factor in producing change. He says of this, "[t]he risk to others in the prison community may well be elevated by the loss of hope which some offenders may sometimes attach to Preventive Detention."[39] The test for the admission of fresh evidence on appeal is, in short, whether it is fresh, credible and cogent.11 This report is not fresh evidence in the sense that it was open to Mr Antonievic to seek his own report prior to sentence. However, the report is clearly credible and we regard it as cogent on the critical issue of the adequacy of a finite sentence. We therefore grant the application, made orally by Mr Dacre, to adduce this report as evidence on appeal.Analysis[40] We see no error in the Judge's approach to the sentencing of Mr Antonievic. The Judge directed himself to the relevant criteria. Although Mr Antonievic's pastoffending was not of the most serious kind, it was troubling in its frequency, in terms of the number of violent offences, and in the degree to which the violence had been directed against women. Mr Antonievic had offended very seriously immediately after being released from prison for assaulting his previous partner. The offending against his latest victim was protracted and violent. Mr Antonievic has serious and deep-seated psychological and substance abuse issues. He scored very highly on departmental tools used to measure risk and each of the psychologists, and indeed Dr Jansen, assessed him at being at high risk of further serious offending. In our view, given the material before him, the Judge was correct to assess the risk that Mr Antonievic would commit serious offences in the future as being high.[41] The Judge did take into account Mr Antonievic's youth and the absence of earlier sexual offending. But these factors did not outweigh the risk of recidivism as he assessed it. He referred to Mr Prince's postulation that Mr Antonievic would mature out of this conduct. But the Judge noted that the offending in question was not in the nature of youthful offending, a view with which we readily concur.11 Lundy v R [2013] UKPC 28, [2014] 2 NZLR 273 at [120].[42] It was, as the Judge reflected, a relevant consideration in this regard that Mr Antonievic maintained that his latest victim consented to his conduct, a view he continued to express to Dr Jansen. This clearly was relevant to assessing Mr Antonievic's prospects for rehabilitation. Mr Dacre submits that the Judge incorrectly treated Mr Antonievic's refusal to accept responsibility for his offending as a bar to his participating in the necessary programmes. We do not consider that the Judge did proceed on that basis. Although the Judge identified a risk Mr Antonievic would never be considered suitable for the sort of treatment programmes he needed, that comment linked back to the earlier passage in his sentencing notes where the Judge discusses the impact of security classification upon access to programmes.12 The various reports, including Dr Jansen's, make plain thatMr Antonievic's anger remains a management issue while he is in prison.[43] Given the magnitude of the risk presented by Mr Antonievic, the Judge was concerned that if a finite sentence was imposed Mr Antonievic could achieve release without having engaged in long-term and meaningful rehabilitation. He was therefore satisfied it was necessary to impose a sentence of preventive detention to ensure that, prior to his release, Mr Antonievic takes responsibility for his own rehabilitation by engaging in programmes made available to him.[44] We have assessed the criteria under s 87(4) afresh. Our review of all of the available information, however, leads us to the same conclusion as that reached by the Judge. We are satisfied that a sentence of preventive detention in the case of Mr Antonievic is necessary to protect the community from him because he poses a significant and ongoing risk to the safety of the community, a risk of very serious violent and sexual offending. We bear in mind that preventive detention should notbe considered a sentence of last resort, even in Mr Antonievic's circumstances, andthink it right to give primacy to the safety of the public at large.13[45] Mr Antonievic must accept responsibility for accessing the necessary treatment and rehabilitation to address his risk of reoffending. Having said that, we are mindful of the fact that Mr Antonievic is a young man and our society has a real12 R v Antonievic, above n 1, at [75].13 R v C [2003] 1 NZLR 30 (CA) at [6].interest in his rehabilitation. We also have been struck with how open Mr Antonievic has been with the report writers. The overall impression is of a young man who knows he has very serious issues to address and a growing awareness that he must address them.[46] In that regard, we note with concern Dr Jansen's report that Mr Antonievichas expressed himself as strongly motivated to engage with appropriate programmes but has yet to be offered any such treatment programmes. The report writers have identified the need for individual counselling and for participation in programmes for sexual offenders. Dr Jansen suggests that Mr Antonievic's risks might be reduced byimproving his overall mental health through improving his sleep, reducing ruminations, paranoia and perceptual disturbances, and generally calming him down.[47] We record that Mr Dacre has discussed with Mr Antonievic making Dr Jansen's report available to the Corrections Department and Mr Antonievic iscontent for that to occur. We therefore ask the Registry to provide a copy of that report, together with these sentencing notes, to the Department of Corrections. Mr Dacre recommends we draw the Corrections Department's attention to paragraph 297 of Dr Jansen's report, and we do so.Result[48] An extension of time to appeal is granted. The application to adduce fresh evidence on appeal is granted. The appeal against sentence is dismissed. The Registry is to follow the directions given at [47] above.Solicitors:Crown Law Office, Wellington for Respondent
