The Court of Criminal Appeal is expected to fix a date tomorrow for the hearing of an appeal by a south Dublin student against his two year sentence for violent disorder.
Sean Mackey (23), South Park, Foxrock, Dublin, was sentenced to two years imprisonment on March 15th after being convicted of violent disorder.
The charged relate to an incident outside Club Annabel in Dublin in August 2000during which another young student, Mr Brian Murphy, was killed.
The jury failed to reach a decision on another charge against Mackey, alleging manslaughter of Mr Murphy.
The Director of Public Prosecutions has stated he will not be proceeding with a re-trial on the manslaughter count.
The appeal had been due to start last July but was adjourned.
Another man, Dermot Laide, is serving a four year sentence for the manslaughter of Mr Murphy, who died after being kicked and beaten, while two others also received sentences for violent disorder relating to the Club Annabel incident. Laide's appeal is also to be mentioned before the Court of Criminal Appeal tomorrow.
