APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] We decline to interfere with the sentence. In our view, on a fair reading of the record, the sentencing judge did not misapprehend either the duration or the magnitude of the fraud. This was a serious fraud, and the sentencing judge was justified in rejecting a conditional sentence.

[2] Accordingly, although leave to appeal sentence is granted, the sentence appeal is dismissed.
