APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 07-0051/AR.  U.S. v. Eric R. KRULISKY.  CCA 20051100.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, we conclude that Appellant’s guilty plea to wrongfully possessing a hose and burner and a specific number of syringes in the Specification of Charge IV was improvident when Appellant asserted during the providence inquiry that those items were not possessed for the purpose of ingesting illegal drugs.  See United States v. Prater, 32 M.J. 433 (C.M.A. 1991).   Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER APPELLANT’S GUILTY PLEA TO WRONGFULLY POSSESSING A HOSE AND BURNER AND A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF SYRINGES IN THE SPECIFICATION OF CHARGE IV WAS IMPROVIDENT WHEN APPELLANT ASSERTED DURING THE PROVIDENCE INQUIRY THAT THOSE ITEMS WERE NOT USED TO INGEST ILLEGAL DRUGS.  

 

The decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed, except for the words and figures, “hose and burner” and “approximately 200” in the Specification of Charge IV.  The finding of guilty as to those words and figures is set aside and that portion of the Specification is dismissed.[See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 

No. 07-0115/AR.  U.S. v. Jason K. GRINER.  CCA 20040313.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, it is ordered that said petition is granted. The decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed, except for that portion of Specification 4 of Charge II that includes the words and figures, “in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2252A (a)(2)(A),” and that portion of Specification 6 of Charge II that includes the words and figures, “in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2252A (a)(5)(B).” The finding of guilty as to those words and figures is set aside and those portions of Specifications 4 and 6 are dismissed.
