Applicants failed to demonstrate sufficient cause for extension of time as their reasons related to ignorance of the law and alleged advocate negligence, which are not valid grounds. No new evidence or error apparent on the face of the record was established, and the alleged illegalities did not meet the threshold for review but rather for appeal.
