APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] We read no ambiguity in the sentence imposed by the trial judge. He made it clear that he viewed seven years as the appropriate total sentence, gave the appellant 12 months credit for his pre-trial custody, and imposed sentences of five years on the robbery and one year on the consecutive disguise with intent to rob charge. The total sentence imposed, having regard to the very serious nature of the offences, was appropriate despite the appellant’s youth.

[2] Leave to appeal granted, the appeal is dismissed.
