__________________

HAYNE J: The applicants, husband, wife and child, are citizens of Sri Lanka. They seek special leave to appeal against the orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Buchanan J) exercising the appellate jurisdiction of that Court. By those orders, Buchanan J dismissed the applicants' appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court (Barnes FM) dismissing an application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) in respect of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal. The Tribunal affirmed the decision of a delegate of the Minister to refuse to grant the applicants protection visas.

We see no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of Buchanan J.

Pursuant to r 41.11.1 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application with costs. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.42 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
