On appeal from the sentenced imposed by Justice J.C. Moore dated March 11, 2003.
A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T
1There is no ambiguity in the sentence imposed. The appellant received a total sentence of two years and three months. In imposing that sentence, the trial judge took into consideration the pre-trial custody.
2There is no merit to the contention that the appellant’s sentence is improperly disparate when compared to the co-accused. The appellant was convicted of a whole series of offences that did not involve the co-accused. These were serious, including breach of court orders and were committed while the appellant was on bail on the first set of charges.
3Leave to appeal granted, but the appeal is dismissed.
