APPEALS-SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 08-0247/NA.  U.S. v. Sasha M. DOWIS.  CCA 200700428.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals and in light of United States v. Wilson, 65 M.J. 140 (C.A.A.F. 2007), we hold that under the plain meaning of the language in the convening authority’s action of April 18, 2007, the bad-conduct discharge was not approved.  Accordingly, it is ordered that review is granted on the following issue:

 

Whether the lower court properly held that it could rely on the convening authority’s forwarding of the record of trial to the Navy-Marine Corps Appellate Review Activity (NAMARA) as evidence of ambiguity in the approval of Appellant’s bad-conduct discharge. 

 

The decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for remand to the convening authority, who shall then forward it directly to a judge advocate for review under Rule for Courts-Martial 1112.

No. 07-6004/AR.  U.S. v. Eric LOPEZ de VICTORIA.  CCA 20061248.  On April 4, 2008, Appellee timely moved for a stay in issuing the mandate in this case “to allow sufficient time for the Department of Defense and the Office of the Solicitor General to decide if a petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court is warranted.”  Appellant opposes the request.  This Court has authority to grant timely motions for stays for up to ninety days.  28 U.S.C. § 2101(c) and (f).  But such a stay does not extend the time for filing a petition for writ of certiorari, as the time for filing runs from the date of the judgment, not the date of the mandate.  Sup. Ct. R. 13.3.  However, a Justice on the Supreme Court may, for good cause shown, grant an application to extend the time to file for a period of not exceeding sixty days.  Sup. Ct. R. 13.5.  On April 22, 2008, Appellee filed a motion to withdraw the motion to stay the mandate because counsel no longer intended to seek a writ of certiorari from the Supreme Court.  Accordingly, it is ordered that Appellee’s motion to stay this Court’s mandate in the above captioned case is denied, and that Appellee’s motion to withdraw the motion to stay mandate is denied as moot.

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 08-0215/NA.  U.S. v. Tyrice L. HAYES.  CCA 200600910.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, it appears that in its rendition of the facts, the Court of Criminal Appeals may have considered matters from outside the record.  The facts alleged in the decision appear to have been taken from the victim’s summarized testimony presented at the Article 32, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 832 (2000), investigation, rather than from the evidence presented at trial.  This Court has previously held that a court of criminal appeals is constrained (1) by the evidence presented at trial when conducting its legal and factual review of the findings under Article 66(c), UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 866(c), and (2) by the evidence admitted at trial and those matters considered by the convening authority in his action when conducting its Article 66(c), UCMJ, sentence appropriateness review.  See United States v. Beatty, 64 M.J. 456, 458 (C.A.A.F. 2007). 

Accordingly, it is ordered that review is granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER THE NAVY-MARINE CORPS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS FAILED TO CONDUCT A PROPER REVIEW UNDER ARTICLE 66(c), UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. SECTION 866(c), WHERE, IN ITS RENDITION OF THE FACTS OF THE CASE, THAT COURT APPEARS TO HAVE CONSIDERED EVIDENCE FROM OUTSIDE THE RECORD.  SEE UNITED STATES v. BEATTY, 64 M.J. 456 (C.A.A.F. 2007).

 

The decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for remand to the Court of Criminal Appeals for a new review under Article 66(c), UCMJ.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]
