MISCELLANEOUS DOCKET - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 08-0260/AF.  United States, Appellee v. Daniel J. Brown, Appellant.  CCA 36695.  In an order dated June 17, 2008, (66 M.J. 491 (C.A.A.F. 2008)), this Court granted review of Appellant’s petition on the following specified issue:

 

WHETHER THE EVIDENCE ON THE ELEMENT OF SERVICE-DISCREDITING CONDUCT WAS LEGALLY SUFFICIENT WHEN: (1) THE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT AT ISSUE INVOLVED VIRTUAL MINORS; (2) THE IMAGES OF VIRTUAL MINORS WERE VIEWED ON APPELLANT’S PRIVATELY-OWNED COMPUTER, AND (3) APPELLANT’S ACTIVITY WAS KNOWN ONLY TO LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION.  SEE U.S. v. MASON, 60 M.J. 15 (2004), AND U.S. v. O’CONNOR, 58 M.J. 450 (2003).

 

On examination of the record, we have determined that the granted issue was based on an incorrect premise, namely that the evidence in the record of the sexually explicit content at issue involved only virtual minors.  The record reveals, and the parties agree, that the record includes testimony that the sexually explicit content at issue includes depictions of actual minors.  Under these circumstances, the issue granted by this Court cannot be answered on the facts present in this case.  Upon further consideration of Appellant’s petition for review, we conclude that the record does not establish good cause for review under Article 67(a)(3), UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 867(a)(3) (2000).  Therefore, on consideration of the granted issue, it is ordered that the order dated June 17, 2008, granting Appellant’s petition for review is vacated as improvidently granted, and that the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is hereby denied. [See also PETITIONS FOR GRANT OF REVIEW DENIED this date.]

 

Misc. No. 09-8002/AR.  United States, Appellee v. Marcelo G. Balboa, Appellant.  CCA 20080829.  On consideration of the writ-appeal petition for review of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals’ decision on application for extraordinary relief and the emergency request for a stay, it is ordered that said writ-appeal petition is hereby denied without prejudice to Appellant’s right to raise the matters asserted during the course of normal appellate review, and that said emergency request for a stay is denied as moot.

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 08-0550/AR.  U.S. v. Tyler K. MESUBED.  CCA 20061158.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, we conclude that Charge III and its specification (indecent act) are multiplicious for findings with Charge I and its specification (rape).  United States v. Schoolfield, 40 M.J. 132 (C.M.A. 1994).  Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE ERRED IN NOT DISMISSING CHARGE III AND ITS SPECIFICATION AS MULTIPLICIOUS WITH CHARGE I AND ITS SPECIFICATION.

 

The decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals as to Charge III and its specification is reversed, the findings as to Charge III and its specification are set aside, and Charge III and its specification are dismissed.  In all other respects, the decision of the court below is affirmed. [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 

No. 08-0737/MC.  U.S. v. Jerry E. SHUMATE, Jr.  CCA 200700941.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, we note that Appellant pleaded guilty in accordance with a pretrial agreement and was sentenced to confinement for eight years, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, reduction to pay grade E-1, and a dishonorable discharge.  In the pretrial agreement, the convening authority agreed that any punitive discharge would be disapproved and that all confinement in excess of 21 months would be suspended for the period of confinement served plus 12 months.  When the convening authority took his action, he stated:

 

In the general court-martial case of [Appellant], tried on 13 October and 21 November 2006, at Camp Pendleton, California, only so much of the sentence as provides for reduction to pay grade E-1 and confinement for a period of eight years is approved, and ordered executed; however, the execution of that part of the sentence extending to forfeiture of all pay and allowances and confinement in excess of time served is suspended for a period of 12 months, at which time, unless the suspension is sooner vacated, the suspended part of the sentence will be remitted without further action.

 

We conclude that because the convening authority’s action was ambiguous as to whether or not adjudged forfeitures were approved, the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals in affirming the sentence was also ambiguous.  Instead of returning the case for further action by the convening authority, we will, in the interests of judicial economy, take corrective action at this level.  See United States v. Dowis, 66 M.J. 382 (C.A.A.F. 2008); United States v. Wilson, 65 M.J. 140 (C.A.A.F. 2007); Rule for Courts-Martial 1107(g).  Accordingly it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted on the following specified issue:

 

WHETHER THE UNITED STATES NAVY-MARINE CORPS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS ERRED IN AFFIRMING A SENTENCE WHERE THE UNDERLYING CONVENING AUTHORITY’S ACTION WAS AMBIGUOUS AS TO THE FORFEITURE PORTION OF THE SENTENCE.

 

The decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to the findings and to only so much of the sentence as provides for a reduction to pay grade E-1 and confinement for eight years, with confinement in excess of time served suspended.
