Ruling

1. I have gone through the application of the appellant (undated) and the supporting affidavit received in court on February 1, 2023. The applicant prays that the period he was in custody before sentence be considered during the computation of the sentence. I have gone through the lower court file and it does confirm that the appellant was arrested on May 12, 2020 and jailed on August 26, 2022. it is therefore ordered that the period spent in custody be taken into consideration during the computation. It is ordered.
