APPEALS – SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 06-0532/NA.  U.S. v. Hector A. COLEMAN.  CCA 200101009.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, it is noted that that decision dismissed Specification 2 of Charge I (felony murder) and then stated that the “remaining Charge and specification are affirmed.”  Because two specifications under two charges remain (premeditated murder under Charge I and robbery under Charge II), it is unclear what findings were approved by the Court of Criminal Appeals.  Under Article 67(c), Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 867(c) (2000), this Court can only act with respect to findings as affirmed by a court of criminal appeals.  Accordingly, it is ordered   that said petition is hereby granted.  The decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside, and  the record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for remand to the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals for clarification as to the affirmed findings.  Thereafter, Article 67, UCMJ, shall apply.  This is without prejudice to Appellant’s right to resubmit any assignments of error in a subsequent petition for grant of review to this Court.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]
