Quick Take

Where a sentencing judge imposes a uniform sentence on each of multiple counts of varying gravity to be served concurrently, without differentiating between the counts, this may constitute an arguable ground of appeal sufficient to warrant an extension of time. Inadequacy of sentencing remarks, including failure to address rehabilitation prospects, is also an arguable ground.
