____________________________________________________________________

REASONS OF THE COURT

(Given by French J)
[1]	Mr Nottingham seeks leave to appeal a decision of Wylie J in the High Court. 
[2]	In the decision at issue, Wylie J declined to grant Mr Nottingham an extension of time under s 298(4) of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 to apply for leave to appeal two rulings and a costs judgment issued by Judge Collins in the District Court.  
[3]	For the reasons articulated in the decision of this Court in two other proceedings also involving Mr Nottingham, we are satisfied we do not have jurisdiction to entertain Mr Nottingham’s application.  That is so whether it is characterised as an application for leave to appeal Wylie J’s decision declining to grant an extension of time, or an application for leave to appeal Wylie J’s decision declining to grant leave to appeal.
[4]	The application for leave to appeal is accordingly declined.
