APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

Leave to appeal is refused.  The bias argument is specific to this case
    and, in our view, does not raise an issue of significance to the general
    administration of justice.

[2]

We also do not accept the submission that the bias argument is a strong
    one.  The summary conviction appeal court judge considered the argument and
    rejected it.  We see no reason to repeat that review in this court.

[3]

Leave to appeal is refused.
