Convicted murderer Robert Reitmeier — a neo-Nazi who beat a Calgary man to death in an unprovoked attack in 2010 — will not be allowed a new trial.

The Alberta Court of Appeal dismissed Reitmeier's application on Monday, finding no error by the trial judge involved.

Mark Mariani, 47, was beaten after wandering into an alleyway behind a strip mall in northwest Calgary where Reitmeier and another man had been spray painting graffiti. He crawled to his car in a nearby parking lot but died without being able to get in or call for help.

Reitmeier, a self-declared white supremacist, was found guilty in 2013 of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 13 years.

The second man, Tyler Sturrup, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years.

Mark Mariani, 47, was beaten to death after wandering into an alley behind a strip mall in northwest Calgary where Reitmeier and another man had been spray painting graffiti.

During Reitmeier's trial, the jury heard intercepted phone calls between Reitmeier and Sturrup where they discussed concerns about police and media attention on the crime.

In his notice of appeal, Reitmeier argued those calls were highly prejudicial, not relevant and should not have been admitted as evidence but the appeal justices disagreed.

"The trial judge did not err in admitting the intercepted communications," reads the decision.

Reitmeier's appeal of his sentence is still pending.

Sturrup's appeal was dismissed in September.
