APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 04-0445/AR.  U.S. v. William J. MARKO.  CCA 20020847.  On consideration of Appellant’s petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, said petition is granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER THE ARMY COURT ERRED IN FAILING TO FIND PLAIN ERROR WHERE CHARGE I AND ITS SPECIFICATIONS (DEPARTURE FROM APPOINTED PLACE OF DUTY) ARE MULTIPLICIOUS WITH THE CORRESPONDING OFFENSES IN SPECIFICATION 2 OF CHARGE II AND SPECIFICATION 1 OF CHARGE III (WILLFUL DISOBEDIENCE OF LAWFUL ORDERS).

 

Under the circumstances of this case, we conclude that the offense of willfully disobeying an order directing Appellant to remain in a given place (specification 2 of Charge II) and the offense of leaving that same place of duty without authority (specification 1 of Charge I) are factually the same and multiplicious for findings. 
See
United States v. Lloyd, 46 M.J. 19, 23 (C.A.A.F. 1997); United States v. Teters, 37 M.J. 370, 373 (C.M.A. 1993).  Thus, we must dismiss one of the two offenses.  However, because the conduct underlying the two offenses was the same conduct supporting the remaining offense, and the military judge considered them to be one offense for sentencing purposes, we are satisfied that Appellant suffered no prejudice as to his sentence. 

 
Accordingly, the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed as to specification 1 of Charge I, but is affirmed in all other respects.  The finding of guilty as to specification 1 of Charge I is set aside and that specification is dismissed.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 CRAWFORD, Judge (dissenting):  In United States v. Heryford, 52 M.J. 265, 266 (C.A.A.F. 2000), this Court held that an unconditional plea of guilty waives a multiplicity issue.

 

     Pursuant to his pleas, Appellant was convicted at a special court-martial of leaving his place of duty, a 100% unit urinalysis test at Building 87021 on June 11, 2002, absenting himself on June 11, 2002, from his appointed place of duty, Building 7021, disobeying his superior commissioned officer on June 11, 2002, by failing to stay in Building 7021, disobeying another superior commissioned officer by leaving the holding area until his urinalysis had been completed, disobeying a staff sergeant by failing to clean the gutter system on the roof of Building 7021 on June 11, 2002, disobeying a sergeant by not firing his M16A2 rifle at silhouette targets on April 2, 2002, violating a lawful general regulation by possessing a prohibited knife on his person, violating the same lawful general regulation by having a prohibited knife in his barracks room, and stealing government property.

 

     The defense did not make a motion before pleas or before sentencing to combine or dismiss any of the specifications or charges.  However, during the providence inquiry, both sides agreed that the military judge could consider specification 1 of Charge I, and specification 2 of Charge II, multiplicious for sentencing.  Additionally, the military judge on her own decided to consider specification 1 of Charge III, and specification 2 of Charge I as multiplicious for sentencing.  There were no objections by either side.
 

     The elements of specification 1 of Charge I were described by the military judge as follows:

 

     One, that a certain authority appointed a certain time and place of duty for you and that is a 100 percent urinalysis at building 87021 on 11 June 2002 at Fort Hood;

 

     Two, that you knew that you were required to be present at this appointed time and place of duty; and

 

     Three, that on or about 11 June 2002 at Fort Hood, Texas, without proper authority, you went from the appointed place of duty after having reported at such place.

 

As to specification 2 of Charge II, she advised Appellant of the following elements:

 

          One, that you received a certain lawful command to not leave the holding area until the urinalysis has been completed, or words to that effect, from Captain Eric S. Puls;

 

          Two, that at the time Captain Puls was your superior commissioned officer;

 

          Three[,] that you knew that Captain Puls was your superior commissioned officer; and

 

          Four, that on 11 June 2002 at Fort Hood, Texas, you willfully disobeyed that lawful command.

 

As to the order to clean gutters, specification 1 of Charge III, he was advised the elements are as follows:

 

          One, that on 11 June 2002, you were an enlisted service member;

 

          Two, that you received a certain lawful order to clean the gutter system for building 87021 [sic] on Fort Hood from Staff Sergeant, either Xavier or Javier Noronha;

 

          Three, that at the time you knew that Staff Sergeant Noronha was a non-commissioned officer;

 

          Four, that you had a duty to obey the order; and

 

          Five, that on or about 11 June 2002, at Fort Hood, Texas, you willfully disobeyed the lawful order.

 

     The evidence during sentencing established that Appellant was punished pursuant to Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 815 (2000), for nine offenses including absence without leave, disrespect to a noncommissioned officer, and numerous offenses of disobeying a noncommissioned officer.  He received another Article 15 punishment for five offenses.

 

     Appellant was sentenced to a bad-conduct discharge, eight months’ confinement, and partial forfeitures.  The convening authority, pursuant to a pretrial agreement, approved the sentence but reduced the confinement to four months. 

 

     Based on the military judge’s initiative to consider the offenses multiplicious, the sentence given, and the sentence eventually approved pursuant to the pretrial agreement, waiver should apply because the offenses are not facially duplicative, and there was no error that affected the substantial rights of the accused.
