The appellant is a national of Pakistan born on 1 October 1981. He appeals with leave against the decision of First-tier Judge Ferguson, who in a decision promulgated on 1 May 2014, dismissed his appeal against the decision of the respondent made on 10 January 2014 to refuse him further leave to remain as a Tier 4 Student.

The appellant first entered the UK on 19 August 2011 with leave as a Tier 4 Student valid until 19 January 2013. On the day his leave expired he submitted a further application for leave to remain in the same capacity.

The respondent refused the appellant�s application on 10 January 2014. 30 points were awarded as claimed for the production of a valid CAS. The respondent awarded him no points for maintenance because:

� �You are required to show that you are in possession of �1,600 for a consecutive 28 day period to meet the Tier 4 requirements of paragraph 1A of Appendix C of the Immigration Rules. You have provided no evidence of the funds available to you so you have not demonstrated that you have the level of funds required �.

The appellant�s appeal was determined as a paper case. The judge noted that the appellant had provided no information in any of the sections of his appeal form which requested the reasons why he had appealed. There was no document provided with the appeal form setting out any grounds of appeal. There was no supporting evidence provided at all, specifically no bank statements or other financial documents to establish that he held the level of funds required by the Rules. In view of the lack of documentary evidence to support his appeal, the judge dismissed his appeal.
