The Christchurch mosque shooter who killed 51 people wanted to complain about his designation as a "terrorist entity" and his access to news and mail.
Brenton Harrison Tarrant's requested judicial review did not go ahead in the High Court at Auckland today.
Tarrant did not attend to advance arguments about the terrorist designation or the Department of Corrections' decisions about his access to news and mail.
Justice Venning said those issues could form the basis of applications for a judicial review, but would have to be dealt with formally, so the Crown could respond to claims.
