Hon Stock JA (giving the judgment of the Court):

1 On 2 April 2003 this applicant's application for leave to appeal against conviction by a jury on 12 September 2002 was dismissed. He had been convicted of four offences, three of robbery and one of wounding with intent. Each was a very serious offence and he received a total of ten years' imprisonment. The facts are sufficiently set out in the judgment of 2 April.

2 By notice filed in January 2004 he seeks leave out of time to appeal against sentence. He says that he now suffers from an eye disease and he has shown this Court a medical report which we have read. This is also the reason he provides for lodging this application out of time and it provides the suggested ground of appeal.

3 The matter raised would in event provide no reason whatsoever for reducing sentence. There is shown no good reason for allowing this application out of time or at all, and it is dismissed.
