J U D G M E N T
[1]MR JUSTICE OUSELEY: Mr Atlee, appearing on behalf of the appellant, has applied to come off the record. He gave notice of this; the solicitors did, recently, very recently. I have refused that application today. Mr Atlee rightly has concluded that there are no arguments that he can properly advance.[2]The brief fact is that the appellant committed a quite serious assault on 12 September 2010, for which he has been convicted. His suspended sentence of 1 year 6 months was activated because he failed to comply with the conditions of its suspension. He has come to the United Kingdom effectively as a fugitive, knowing he was in breach of the terms of his suspended sentence, since when he has committed a number of offences in this country.[3]He has no significant private life, certainly none sufficient to outweigh the interests of extradition.[4]Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
