HAYNE J: The applicant, a citizen of Bangladesh, seeks special leave to appeal against orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Edmonds J).

The applicant entered Australia in 2001 and applied for a protection visa. In January 2002 a delegate of the Minister refused to grant the applicant a protection visa, and the applicant applied for the decision to be reviewed by the Refugee Review Tribunal, which affirmed the delegate’s decision in July 2003. The Federal Magistrates Court dismissed the applicant’s application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) and, in June 2005, Hely J (exercising the appellate jurisdiction of the Federal Court) dismissed an appeal from that decision.

The applicant then made a new application to the Federal Magistrates Court, again seeking relief in respect of the same Refugee Review Tribunal decision. A Federal Magistrate dismissed the application and directed that the applicant not be allowed to file any further application for review of the Tribunal’s decision without the leave of the Court.

The applicant then applied to the Federal Court, seeking leave to appeal. Edmonds J dismissed this application. It is this decision in respect of which the applicant seeks special leave to appeal to this Court.

Because the applicant is unrepresented, the application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

The applicant’s written submissions raise no grounds for the grant of special leave. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the orders made in the courts below.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.49 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
