INTERLOCUTORY ORDERS

 

No. 07-0870/AF.  U.S. v. Charles S.

No. 07-0870/AF.  U.S. v. Charles S. ROACH.  CCA S31143.  On consideration of the motions and answers filed in this case, it is ordered:

 

That Appellant’s Motion to Summarily Grant, Vacate, and Remand, filed on September 18, 2007, denied;

 

That Appellant’s Motion to Attach Documents in Support of Appellant’s Motion to Summarily Grant, Vacate, and Remand, filed on September 18, 2007, denied;

That Appellant’s Second Motion to Attach Substituted Document in Support of Appellant’s Opposition to Government’s Motion to Disqualify, filed on November 2, 2007, granted;

 

That Appellant’s Motion to Attach Documents in Support of Appellant’s Reply to the Government’s Answer to the Supplement to the Petition for Grant of Review, filed on November 20, 2007, is granted as to Tabs A and B, but is denied as to Tab C;

 

That Appellant’s Motion to Attach Certificate of Compliance to Appellant’s Reply to the Government’s Answer to the Supplement to the Petition for Grant of Review, filed on November 26, 2007, granted;

 

That considering Appellant’s Motion to Strike Certificate of Service in Government’s Opposition to Appellant’s Motion to Attach Certificate of Compliance to Appellant’s Reply to the Government’s Answer to the Supplement to the Petition for Grant of Review, filed on December 5, 2007, and the Government’s Opposition to said motion, filed on December 10, 2007, the Government’s Opposition will be treated as a motion to correct the certificate of service, and that motion is granted; the Appellant’s Motion to Strike is therefore denied as moot;

 

That Appellant’s Motion to Attach Document in Support of Appellant’s Motion to Strike Certificate of Service in Government’s Opposition to Appellant’s Motion to Attach Certificate of Compliance to Appellant’s Reply to the Government’s Answer to the Supplement to the Petition for Grant of Review, also filed on December 5, 2007, denied;

No. 07-0690/AF.  U.S. v. Rodger J. DAY.  CCA 36423.

No. 07-0685/AF.  U.S. v. Michael RODRIGUEZ.  CCA 36455.

 

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 07-0875/AF.  U.S. v. Murray M. JONES, Jr.  CCA 36577.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals, it is noted that although Appellant’s guilty plea to Specification 6 of Charge I (making and delivering checks without sufficient funds) excepted a check totaling $108.06 from the specification, the total amount ($1,072) listed in the specification was not amended to reflect the exception. 

Accordingly, in light of this error, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted, and the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed, except for the figure, “$1,072.00,” in Specification 6 of Charge I, substituting the figure, “$963.94.”  The finding of guilty as to the excepted figure is set aside and dismissed. [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 

No. 08-0024/AR.  U.S. v. Shaun F. O’NEAL.  CCA 20051530.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, it is ordered that said petition is granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE ERRED BY FAILING TO REOPEN THE PROVIDENCE INQUIRY IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED STATES v. PHILLIPPE, 63 M.J. 307 (C.A.A.F. 2006), WHEN FACTS ELICITED DURING APPELLANT’S UNSWORN STATEMENT RAISED THE POSSIBLE DEFENSE OF MISTAKE OF FACT AS TO AUTHORITY TO LEAVE.

 

The decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed as to Specification 2 of Charge I and as to the sentence, but is affirmed in all other respects.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for remand to the Court of Criminal Appeals.  That court may either dismiss Specification 2 of Charge I and reassess the sentence based on the affirmed guilty findings or order a rehearing. [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 

No. 08-0078/MC.  U.S. v. Robert P. WILLIAMS IV.  CCA 200700245.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, the Court notes that in accordance with a pretrial agreement, Appellant entered pleas of guilty to three offenses, to include Specification 1 of Charge II.  The military judge accepted his pleas, and then entered guilty findings with respect to two of those offenses, but omitted any finding as to Specification 1 of Charge II.  There was no objection at trial or in any post-trial processing.  We conclude that Appellant was not prejudiced by this omission.  See United States v. Davie, 18 M.J. 598, (N.M.C.M.R. 1984), petition denied, 19 M.J. 121 (C.M.A. 1984).  Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER THE NAVY-MARINE CORPS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS ERRED BY AFFIRMING THE FINDINGS AND SENTENCE AS APPROVED BY THE CONVENING AUTHORITY, WHEN THE MILITARY JUDGE DID NOT ENTER A FINDING FOR SPECIFICATION 1 OF CHARGE II.

 

The decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.[See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]
