The offender was convicted of possessing over two kilograms of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking.

The offence occurred nine days after his release on statutory release for prior robbery convictions.

The fentanyl he possessed caused a near-fatal overdose of an acquaintance in his apartment.

The Crown sought a 20-year sentence and delayed parole eligibility, while the defence sought 12 years.

The court sentenced the offender to 16 years in custody, less 1,915 days of pre-sentence credit, finding the large quantity of fentanyl, the near-fatal overdose, and his status as a recent parolee to be significant aggravating factors.

The Crown's request for delayed parole eligibility was dismissed.

The applicant filed an application with the Condominium Authority Tribunal which proceeded to mediation.

The applicant subsequently informed the Tribunal of their intention to withdraw the case, to which the respondent agreed.

The Tribunal accepted the withdrawal with prejudice, ordered the parties to bear their own costs, and closed the case.
