SECOND RESPONDENT
JUDGE: DOWNES J

PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 The applicant seeks leave to appeal from a decision of the Federal Magistrates Court dismissing an application for review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal notified to the applicant on 10 October 2002. The applicant has appeared before me personally and put submissions in writing and orally. He has also particularly drawn my attention to the written submissions that were made in the application before the Federal Magistrate. I have read those written submissions. 2 The applicant has previously unsuccessfully challenged the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal before a single judge of the Federal Court, the Full Federal Court and the High Court of Australia where an application for special leave to appeal was unsuccessful. Nicholls FM dismissed the present application as incompetent and also upheld arguments of res judicata and issue estoppel. The Federal Magistrate was plainly right; an appeal to this court has no prospects of success. 3 The application for leave to appeal is accordingly dismissed with costs agreed in the sum of $700. I certify that the preceding twenty-three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment of the Honourable Justice Downes
