  1. LORD JUSTICE SIMON BROWN: There is before the court an application by Mr Davies for permission to appeal against the order of Maurice Kay LJ on 4 February 2000 refusing him permission to apply for judicial review of a decision of the parole board of 4 August 1999 that he was not suitable for early release.

  2. The court was notified yesterday that Mr Davies no longer wished to pursue this application and it is unsurprising, therefore, that he does not appear today.

  3. It is unsurprising also that he has chosen not to pursue this matter, given that he has long since been released from his term of imprisonment so that in any event the proposed challenge would be entirely academic.

  4. There is no need to say more. The application is refused.

  5. LORD JUSTICE TUCKEY: I agree.

  6. LORD JUSTICE MANCE: I agree.

    7. ORDER: Application refused
