Two Australian drug smugglers sentenced to death cannot challenge the president's decision to refuse them clemency, an Indonesian court has ruled.
Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were the leaders of the "Bali Nine" group of heroin smugglers arrested in 2005.
They are scheduled to be executed by firing squad in Indonesia soon.
Australia has campaigned hard for their sentences to be commuted and their supporters say they have reformed.
Both men were appealing against an earlier ruling which had barred them from challenging Indonesian President Joko Widodo's rejection of their clemency pleas.
Their lawyers had argued that Mr Widodo had not given adequate consideration to the men's cases.
But the State Administrative Court in Jakarta upheld the earlier decision, saying it had no authority to take the case.
It is not clear where the legal proceedings go now. A spokesman for Indonesia's attorney-general, quoted by Reuters news agency, said the men had exhausted all possible options.
But a lawyer for Chan and Sukumaran told journalists: "We will continue our legal efforts".
Reformed characters
Mr Widodo, who took office last year, has been taking a tough stance on drug crime.
In January he authorised the executions of six people, including five foreigners, convicted of drug offences.
The two Australians are in a second group, of 10 foreign nationals, to be put to death. But no date has been set for the executions.
Indonesian authorities say they are waiting for all legal avenues be exhausted in all of the convicts' cases before the group are executed.
Chan and Sukumaran were arrested in Bali in 2005 while attempting to smuggle heroin to Australia.
A court ruled that they had organised a nine-member smuggling operation and they were sentenced to death in 2006.
But their families have argued that they are now reformed characters and should be shown mercy.
Australia has also mounted a passionate diplomatic campaign on their behalf.
The current government has made repeated appeals for the sentences not to be carried out and in February all of Australia's living former prime ministers made a united plea for Indonesia to spare their lives.
Indonesia has also faced criticism from other countries whose nationals are facing execution. The group of 10 includes people from Brazil, France, Nigeria and the Philippines among others.
