ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION

No. 98-0679/AR. U.S. v. Carlos V. DIAZ-DUPREY. CCA 9600181. On consideration of appellant’s motion to file petition for reconsideration out of time and the petition for reconsideration, the motion to file out of time is granted; the petition for reconsideration is granted; the petition for grant of review is granted, and the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, dated September 26, 2001, is affirmed.

SULLIVAN, Senior Judge (concurring in part and dissenting in part): I concur with granting the motion, the petition for reconsideration, and the petition for grant of review, but I would order final briefs and oral argument. See United States v. Wean, 45 MJ 461, 464 (1997). [See also INTERLOCUTORY ORDERS this date.]

No. 02-0001/AR. U.S. v. Delmar G. SIMPSON. CCA 9700775. On consideration of appellee’s petition for reconsideration on motion to postpone hearing date for oral argument, it is ordered that the petition is granted; that the motion to postpone hearing for oral argument is granted; and that oral argument is rescheduled for December 11, 2002, at 10:00 a.m. Each side will be allotted 30 minutes to present oral argument. The hearing will be held in the Courtroom of the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, 450 E Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. Counsel presenting the argument will report to Room 104 prior to the hearing and sign in.

SULLIVAN, Senior Judge (dissenting): The Government requests reconsideration of a previous order of this Court denying a Government motion for postponement of oral argument in this case from the scheduled date of October 16, 2002, to December 11, 2002(an approximate delay of 60 days). See USCAAF Rule 31 and 32; cf. Rule 30(g) and Fed. R. App. Proc. Rule 27(b) (authorizing requests for reconsideration of motion). In the motion that was denied, the sole assertion for postponement was that one of the four appellate Government counsels assigned to the case, who had been "designated to present oral argument" and who was the only attorney "familiar" with it, would be unable to do so at the scheduled oral argument date because of her expected birthing date and her six weeks of maternity leave. Appellant, who continues to remain in prison, through his counsel, opposed this motion to postpone the scheduled oral argument. Accordingly, this Court denied this unusual motion for postponement on August 29, 2002.

Seven days after this Court’s denial, the Government requested reconsideration of this denial. The sole basis of the motion for reconsideration was the Government’s recitation that appellant has been previously granted three continuances to file his pleadings in this court. I am sure there have been other cases where weaker reasons to grant a motion for reconsideration have been advanced, but I cannot recall one. I would think that the Government must have known that this Court was aware of the entire appellate record (to include the prior grants of continuances for appellant to file his pleadings) when this Court denied the original motion to delay the oral argument of appellant, who is in confinement. Nevertheless, the Government anchors its present motion for reconsideration on the argument that since this Court granted appellate defense counsel’s three requests for continuances, "it would be unfair to deny the Government’s single request for a delay of less than two months". (Government Motion at p 2-3).

It is black letter law that petitions for reconsideration are not generally favored in our Court or in other United States Courts of Appeals. See Fidell, Guide to the Rules of Practice and Procedure for the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces at 177 (9th ed. 2000). See also Wright, Miller, Cooper, 16A Federal Practice and Procedure § 3986 at 728 (1999). Moreover, an argument not raised in an appellate brief or at oral argument generally may not be raised for the first time in a petition for rehearing or reconsideration. See Costo v. U.S. 922 F.2d 302, 302-303 (6th Cir. 1990). As I stated above, the continuances secured by the defense were a matter of record at the time the Government’s original motion to postpone oral argument was submitted and no mention of these delays or their importance was ever made by government counsel in its original motion. In any event, the past decisions of this Court on continuances clearly indicate that "prosecutors are fungible" and that same approach is appropriate for appellate government counsel. See United States v. Royster, 42 MJ 488, 490 (1995). Finally, the past decisions of this Court on continuances also do not authorize granting a continuance simply because the opposing party was granted one. See United States v. Weisbeck, 50 MJ 461, 465 (1999).

Admittedly, the record of trial in this case is 3,097 pages long. Nevertheless, the first granted issue is a simple instructional issue questioning the propriety of a certain instruction given in this case on constructive force (R 2773, 2778-79) in light of the model instruction on constructive force provided in the Military Judges’ Benchbook, 3-5-41, Note 6, U.S. Dept. of Army PAM 27-9, (30 Sept. 1996). Moreover, the second issue granted review is dependent on the statement of facts provided in the Court of Criminal Appeals decision. (Defense Brief at 15). These issues, on their face, do not appear to require detailed knowledge of the entire record. Moreover, neither in its original motion or the subsequent motion for reconsideration does the Government argue that mastery of the entire record is necessary for adequate representation of the Government’s interest on appeal. In addition, there is no assertion that this particular counsel is the sole attorney available who can competently represent its interest on appeal.

I find it significant that there were four appellate Government attorneys who signed the government’s final brief in this case. Accordingly, I am not persuaded that one of the other three counsel cannot competently represent the Government in this case. In fact, the Government, in the instant motion, does not affirmatively aver that no other attorney of record in this case could adequately prepare to present the Government’s case at the scheduled oral argument next month. For that matter, I find that it may be likely that a reasonably prudent supervisor at the Appellate Government office may have already directed one of the other three attorneys of record in this case to begin preparation for the scheduled oral argument in this case as a precautionary measure. In my view, it is not the number of pages in the record of trial, but the substance of the issues that may be relevant to any request for a postponement of the oral argument of a case. Accordingly, there is no legal argument in the Government’s motion or in the substance of this case that would justify a postponement of oral argument in this case.

In sum, appellant is in confinement and opposes this motion which will delay the resolution of his case and may infringe upon his rights to a speedy appeal. We granted a request by the Government for a postponement in pre-oral argument proceedings in United States v. Baker, 56 MJ 352 (2002). However, Baker clearly should not be controlling in this case. In Baker, unlike the present case, the appellant was not in confinement and his appellate counsel did not oppose the government motion. Accordingly, in the instant case, absent Staff Sergeant Simpson’s consent or the showing of extraordinary circumstances, he should not be required to bear the burden of the Government’s request to move the scheduled oral argument date for the convenience of one of its four assigned counsel. If Simpson should prevail on his appeal, the granting of this motion may result in his serving additional time in prison. As a final point on substantive appellate procedure, the Government’s motion for reconsideration on its face states no point of law or fact that this Court overlooked or misapprehended when the Court first denied the Government’s request for postponement. Rule 32 USCAAF Rules. Accordingly for all of the above reasons, I would deny the Government’s motion for reconsideration and respectfully dissent.

No. 02-0212/AF. U.S. v. Lawrence E. JOSEY. CCA 33745. On further consideration of the above-entitled case, it appears that certain questions should be addressed by the parties prior to oral argument in this matter scheduled for October 15, 2002. Accordingly, it is ordered that within 10 calendar days of the date of issuance of this order, appellant shall submit a supplemental brief addressing the following matters to the extent that the pertinent matter is set forth in the record or is otherwise subject to judicial notice:

1. During all or any part of the time since his release from confinement, has appellant been in a status in which he was entitled to pay? To what extent, if at all, was appellant serving within a period of enlistment, or was otherwise entitled to pay, during all or part of his confinement?

2.Were automatic forfeitures deducted during appellant’s confinement?

3.To what extent would his status under (1) and (2), supra, affect the issue of whether appellant could be made whole under North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711 (1969), and other applicable law?

4.If automatic forfeitures were deducted during appellant’s confinement: (a) How much was deducted? (b) Were such forfeitures returned to appellant upon the reversal of appellant’s initial sentence? (c) To what extent would return of any forfeitures affect the issue of whether appellant could be made whole under Pearce?

5.What amount would be required to make appellant whole? What is the formula for appellant’s calculation?

6.Did the convening authority have the authority to suspend the effective date of reduction to provide the type of relief contemplated by Pearce? If so, how many days of suspended reduction would have been required to provide such relief?

7.If the convening authority had such authority, does an appellate court have the power to order a convening authority to take such action in order to provide the type of relief contemplated by Pearce?

It is further ordered that, within 10 calendar days of the filing of appellant’s brief, the Government shall file a response thereto.
