APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] The only issue raised is the credit for pre-sentence custody. There were ample reasons in the record for giving only 1.5:1 credit, particularly the appellant’s extensive record for the crimes of violence and history of violating release conditions, which made parole highly unlikely.

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