UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ARMED FORCES
DAILY JOURNAL
NO. 99-82
FEBRUARY 4, 1999

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

No. 97-1058/AF. U.S. v. Jason N. ELLIOTT. CCA 32444.
On further consideration of the granted issue (48 MJ 355), we note that one of the eighteen offenses of which appellant was convicted, using marijuana, was committed after the effective date of the amendment to Article 57(a), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 857(a).*/ Because the military justice system employs unitary sentencing where one sentence is imposed for all offenses before the court-martial, and the maximum sentence for using marijuana would support application of Article 57(a)(1) on its own, see para. 37e(1)(b), Part IV, Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (1995 ed.), enforcement of this code provision did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause. See generally United States v. Garfinkel, 29 F.3d 1253, 1259 (8th Cir. 1994); United States v. Brady, 26 F.3d 282, 291 (2d Cir. 1994). Therefore, United States v. Gorski, 47 MJ 370 (1997), does not apply. Accordingly, the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to result only.

 Senior Judge Everett did not participate.

 Judge Effron did not participate in this decision. See United States v Gorski, 48 MJ 317 (1997). This is without prejudice to his future participation in this case should it subsequently be presented to this Court in a manner that does not require determination of the application of the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution to the amendments to Title 10, United States Code, made by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996, Pub.L.No. 104-106, 110 Stat. 462-63 (1996).

 SULLIVAN, Judge (dissenting):

 I would remand the case to the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals. See my separate opinions in United States v. Roseboro, No. 98-0439,    MJ    (Daily Journal July 27, 1998) [See Court Home Page Under Interlocutory Orders]; United States v. Keeney, No. 97-0596,    MJ    (Daily Journal April 15, 1998); and United States v. Gorski, 47 MJ 370, 376 (1997).

No. 98-0824/AR. U.S. v. Reginald B. THOMPSON. CCA 9600958. On consideration of the petition for grant of review and the Government's concession of error with regard to the sufficiency of the evidence of appellant's intent in assaulting the victim alleged in specification 5 of Charge II, we conclude that the evidence is legally sufficient to sustain only a finding of guilty to assault consummated by a battery. However, in view of the other, more serious, offenses of which appellant stands convicted, we are highly confident that the finding of guilty to the specification, referred to the court-martial, played no appreciable role in the determination of the sentence in this case, even in view of the action of the convening authority in disapproving another specification. Cf. United States v. Fox, 10 MJ 176, 177 (CMA 1981); see also United States v. Thompson, 22 USCMA 88, 91, 46 CMR 88, 91 (1972). Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition for grant of review is granted on the following issue:

WHETHER THE EVIDENCE IS INSUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT FINDINGS OF GUILTY TO THE CHARGE AND SPECIFICATIONS OF INDECENT ASSAULT (SPECIFICATION 5 OF CHARGE II); That specification 5 of Charge II is amended by excepting the word "indecent" after the words "commit an" and before the word "assault"; by inserting the word "unlawfully" after the word "by" and before the word "massaging"; and by excepting the words "with intent to gratify his lust and sexual desires"; and

That the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to Charge I and its specification; specifications 2-4 of Charge II; specification 5 of Charge II as amended; and Charge II; and the sentence. [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 SULLIVAN, Judge (dissenting):

 The Government at the appellate court below "acknowledged that the evidence is factually insufficient . . . " concerning specification 5 of Charge II. (App. Br. at 6.) It further stated:

The United States is aware that Hoggard was decided on legal, rather than factual sufficiency grounds. In this case, however, there is enough circumstantial evidence to meet legal sufficiency standards. Thus, the majority's reliance on "the Government's concession of error" for a legal insufficiency holding is misplaced. (App. Br. at 6 n. 6.) Moreover, I dissented in United States v. Hoggard, 43 MJ 1, 8-9 (CMA 1995), and I dissent to such a holding in this case. The evidence in this case viewed in its entirety, at least circumstantially, was legally sufficient to show an intent on appellant's part to gratify his lust and sexual desires.

And, the following issue specified by the Court: WHETHER TRIAL DEFENSE COUNSEL RENDERED INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL BY ALLOWING THE GOVERNMENT TO PRESENT EXPERT TESTIMONY ON SENTENCING AS TO APPELLANT'S FUTURE DANGEROUSNESS BECAUSE THE EXPERT UTILIZED INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM APPELLANT'S PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATIONS IN VIOLATION OF APPELLANT'S FIFTH AND SIXTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

PETITIONS FOR GRANT OF REVIEW - OTHER SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

No. 98-1098/AR. U.S. v. Terry KELLEY. CCA 9600727. On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals in the above-entitled case in light of United States v. Gorski, 47 MJ 370 (1997), it is ordered that the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside. The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for remand to that court for consideration of whether the amendment to Article 57(a), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 857(a), made by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996, Pub.L.No. 104-106, 110 Stat. 462 (1996), affects the sentence in this case. Following these proceedings, Article 67(a), UCMJ, 10 USC § 867(a)(1994), will apply.

 SULLIVAN, Judge (concurring): I concur. See my separate opinion in United States v. Gorski, 47 MJ 370, 376 (1997).

 Judge Effron did not participate in this decision. See United States v. Gorski, 48 MJ 317 (1997). This is without prejudice to his future participation in this case should it subsequently be presented to this Court in a manner that does not require determination of the application of the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution to the amendments to Title 10, United States Code, made by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996, Pub.L.No. 104-106, 110 Stat. 462-63 (1996).

No. 98-1013/AR. U.S. v. Stephen F. MESSNER. CCA 9600694. On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals in the above-entitled case, in which appellant asserts that he is entitled to the relief prescribed in our opinion in United States v. Gorski, 47 MJ 370 (1997), we note that the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) has established a procedure whereby servicemembers may apply directly for return of any monies improperly withheld as a result of the improper application of the amendment to Article 57(a) and the addition of Article 58b, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC §§ 857(a) and 858b, respectively. We are further advised that appellant’s claim for back pay and allowances was received by DFAS before his petition for grant of review was filed with this Court, and may be pending resolution by DFAS at this time. Accordingly, it is ordered that within 30 days of the date of this Order, counsel for the United States advise this Court in writing of the status of appellant’s DFAS claim for reimbursement; and that action on appellant’s petition for grant of review shall be deferred until a response has been filed with the Court by the United States and served on counsel for appellant.

Judge Effron did not participate in the Court’s prior actions on motions in this case.  In view of the materials filed by the parties, the case now is before the Court in a manner that does not require determination of the constitutionality under the Ex Post Facto Clause of the amendments to Title 10, United States Code, made by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996.  Accordingly, Judge Effron has participated in the decision on this order and will participate in any further proceedings on this case.

WHETHER THE SHAVING OF APPELLANT’S HEAD AMOUNTED TO UNLAWFUL PRETRIAL PUNISHMENT IN VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 13, UCMJ, 10 USC § 813, AND ENTITLED HIM TO SENTENCE CREDIT.
The decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside and the record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for remand to that court for further consideration of the issue in accordance with United States v.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ARMED FORCES
DAILY JOURNAL
NO. 99-92
FEBRUARY 19, 1999

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

No. 97-0913/AF. U.S. v. Louis D. BOOKER. CCA S29314. On further consideration of the specified issue (48 MJ 326) in light of United States v. Hill, 48 MJ 352 (1997), we hold that the offenses of carnal knowledge and adultery were not multiplicious for findings.

On further consideration of the issue raised by appellate defense counsel, we note that all three of the offenses of which appellant was convicted occurred between on or about 1 March 1996 and on or about 15 August or 30 September 1996. Based on the pleas of guilty, we conclude that the offenses were committed, at least in part, after the effective date of the amendment to Article 57(a) and the addition of Article 58b, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC §§ 857(a) and 858b, respectively. "A statute does not violate ex post facto principles where it applies to a crime that 'began prior to, but continued after' the statute's effective date." United States v. Brady, 26 F.3d 282, 291 (2d Cir. 1994); see generally United States v. Garfinkel, 29 F.3d 1253, 1259 (8th Cir. 1994). Thus, application of these amendments did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause. Therefore, United States v. Gorski, 47 MJ 370 (1997), does not apply. Accordingly, it is ordered that the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to result only.

 SULLIVAN, Judge (concurring in part and dissenting in part):

 I concur in the disposition of the specified issue. However, I would remand this case to the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals for further consideration of the granted issue in light of the views expressed in my separate opinions in United States v. Gorksi, 47 MJ 370, 376 (1997), and United States v. Keeney, No. 97-0596,     MJ     (Daily Journal April 15, 1998).

 Senior Judge Everett did not participate.

 Judge Effron did not participate in this decision. See United States v. Gorski, 48 MJ 317 (1997). This is without prejudice to his future participation in this case should it subsequently be presented to this Court in a manner that does not require determination of the application of the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution to the amendments to Title 10, United States Code, made by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996, Pub.L.No. 104-106, 110 Stat. 462-63 (1996).

No. 98-0022/AF. U.S. v. Shymeka E. HALL. CCA 32502. On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals on further review, we conclude that the action taken by the court below was correct as a matter of law. Accordingly, the petition for grant of review is granted and the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals on further review is affirmed. [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

PETITIONS FOR GRANT OF REVIEW – OTHER SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

No. 97-0963/AF. U.S. v. Charles E. HANLEY, III. CCA 32370. On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals on further review, we note that the appellant has asserted that his trial defense counsel was ineffective for failing to move for appropriate sentencing credit for a period of 24 days that appellant was allegedly restricted to his dorm room because such restriction was tantamount to confinement. We have sought and been provided an affidavit from trial defense counsel to explain "why the pretrial confinement question now raised by appellant in Issue II was not raised at trial in the form of a request for sentence credit." ___ MJ ___ (Daily Journal September 30, 1998). However, the record of trial, the pleadings, and the affidavit do not demonstrate conclusively that appellant is not entitled to relief. See United States v. Ginn, 47 MJ 236 (1997). Therefore, we believe that further inquiry concerning this allegation must be undertaken before we can continue our review of this case. Accordingly, it is ordered that the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals on further review is set aside; and that the record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force for transmission of the record to an officer exercising general court-martial jurisdiction for a factfinding hearing solely for the purpose of determining the matter noted above. See United States v. DuBay, 17 USCMA 147, 37 CMR 411 (1967). Following this proceeding, Articles 66 and 67, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC §§ 866 and 867 (1994), respectively, will apply.
