APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 05-0010/MC.  U.S. v. Amy L. HOLDERMAN.  CCA 200301880.  On further consideration of the granted issue, 61 M.J. 149 (C.A.A.F. 2005), it is ordered that 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 resubmission to that court for further consideration in light of our decision in United States v. Jones, 61 M.J. 80 (C.A.A.F. 2005).

 

     CRAWFORD, Judge (dissenting):  I agree with the Court of Criminal Appeals that Appellant’s claim of prejudice was “speculative at best” and she “fails to adequately document these employment decisions and to establish their connection to her lack of a discharge.”  United States v. Holderman, No. 200301880, slip op. at 2 (N-M Ct. Crim. App. July 29, 2004).  See also United States v. Jones, 61 M.J. 80, 86 (C.A.A.F. 2005) (Crawford, J., dissenting).

 

     Appellant submitted an affidavit and indicated while seeking employment with three stores, she was asked “to submit a DD-214, or to explain [her] case as part of the application process.”  (Emphasis added).  Rather than explaining her case or stating why the explanation would not be appropriate, she concluded in her affidavit “I truly believe my lack of a DD-214 has prevented me from obtaining adequate civilian employment to this point in time.”

 

     Unlike Jones, Appellant has not submitted any evidence from a prospective employer that she would have been “seriously considered” for employment if she had produced a DD-214.  61 M.J. at 82.  Thus, I dissent because Appellant has not adequately established the required prejudice to obtain relief even under the generous principles announced in Jones.1/

1/  The Supreme Court has not faced the question of whether the United States Constitution guarantees a speedy criminal appeal, but the federal courts have held that there is such a right.  However, absent a showing of actual prejudice, they have not granted relief.”  61 M.J. at 89 (citing the federal cases addressing the issue).

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 04-0576/NA.  U.S. v. Daniel E. BRYANT, Jr.  CCA 9901169.  On further consideration of the granted issue, 61 M.J. 18 (C.A.A.F. 2005), it appears that the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals rejected the Appellant’s complaint of a lack of timely review and affirmed the findings and sentence prior to the issuance of United States v. Jones, 61 M.J. 80 (C.A.A.F. 2005), United States v. Bodkins, 60 M.J. 322 (C.A.A.F. 2004), and United States v. Toohey, 60 M.J. 100 (C.A.A.F. 2004).  Accordingly, it is ordered that the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to findings, but reversed as to the sentence.  The record is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for remand to the Court of Criminal Appeals for further consideration of the issue of the timeliness of appellate review in view of Jones, Bodkins, and Toohey.  Thereafter, Article 67(b), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 867(b) (2000), shall apply.

 

     CRAWFORD, Judge (dissenting):  The Court of Criminal Appeals applied the proper standards for reviewing post-trial delay and did not abuse its discretion in denying relief.  This case is not akin to United States v. Bodkins, 60 M.J. 322 (C.A.A.F. 2004).  The Court of Criminal Appeals noted that the failure to object to the delay was one factor to consider as to whether there was prejudice in the case.  United States v. Bryant, No. NMCCA 9901169, 2004 CCA LEXIS 113, at *17, 2004 WL 784290, at *6 (N-M. Ct. Crim. App. Apr. 9, 2004).  The court stated, “We would expect an appellant to object vigorously if he was truly experiencing significant problems [prejudice] arising from post-trial processing delays.”  Id.  The court did not employ waiver but rather used the lack of a complaint as a factor in its decision in refusing to grant relief as to post-trial delay.  Appellant, while citing United States v. Tardif, 57 M.J. 219 (C.A.A.F. 2004), did not allege any specific prejudice before the court below or this Court.  Appellant asked the court to grant relief under an equity theory even though there was no showing of actual prejudice.  The court subsequently stated, “We find no prejudice or harm to the appellant, nor do we see any other basis to afford him the requested relief, arising from the post-trial processing delay relating to this case.”  2004 CCA LEXIS 113, at *17, 2004 WL 784290, at *6 (emphasis added).  I agree; thus I dissent from setting aside the sentence in this case.
