APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 11-0361/AR.  U.S. v. Mark C. CHARTIER.  CCA 20100312.  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 SPECIFICATION 2 OF CHARGE IV FAILS TO STATE AN OFFENSE AS IT DOES NOT ALLEGE, EXPRESSLY OR BY NECESSARY IMPLICATION, THE "TERMINAL ELEMENT" AS REQUIRED BY UNITED STATES v. FOSLER, 70 M.J. 225 (C.A.A.F. 2011).

 

The decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is vacated.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for remand to that court for consideration of the granted issue in light of United States v. Fosler, 70 M.J. 225 (C.A.A.F. 2011).  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 

BAKER, Chief Judge (dissenting):

 

I dissent for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Fosler.  United States v. Fosler, 70 M.J. 225, 240-47 (C.A.A.F. 2011).

 

No. 12-0124/NA.  U.S. v. Kelvin J.C. RODEO.  CCA 201000590.  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 the convening authority approved the sentence, which included a dishonorable discharge, and then stated:

 

In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the Manual for Courts-Martial, applicable regulations, and this action, the sentence is ordered executed.

 

Under Article 71(c)(1), UCMJ, a punitive discharge cannot be ordered executed until, after the completion of direct appellate review, there is a final judgment as to the legality of the proceedings.  Thus, to the extent that the convening authority's action purported to execute the dishonorable discharge, it was a nullity.  To avoid any error in this regard, we again suggest that the model "Forms for Action" in Manual for Courts-Martial, United States app. 16 at A16-1 – A16-6 (2008 ed.) be revised.  See United States v. Politte, 63 M.J. 24, 26 n.11 (C.A.A.F. 2006).  Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is granted, and the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

APPEALS-SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 11-0675/AR.  U.S. v. Cassandra M. RILEY.  CCA 20100084.  Review granted on the following issues:

 

I.    WHETHER IN LIGHT OF THIS COURT'S RECENT DECISION IN UNITED STATES v. FOSLER, THE SPECIFICATION OF THE CHARGE FAILED TO STATE AN OFFENSE UNDER ARTICLE 134.

 

II.    WHETHER APPELLANT RECEIVED INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL WHEN HER TRIAL DEFENSE COUNSEL FAILED TO INFORM HER THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER AFTER PLEADING GUILTY.

 

III.   WHETHER APPELLANT'S GUILTY PLEA WAS NOT KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY BECAUSE APPELLANT DID NOT KNOW THAT AFTER PLEADING GUILTY SHE WOULD HAVE TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER, AND THE MILITARY JUDGE ABUSED HER DISCRETION WHEN SHE ACCEPTED APPELLANT'S UNKNOWING AND INVOLUNTARY PLEA WITHOUT ASKING THE TRIAL DEFENSE COUNSEL IF SHE HAD INFORMED APPELLANT OF THE APPLICABLE SEX OFFENDER REGISTER REQUIREMENTS.

 

The decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for remand to that court for further appellate inquiry and consideration of the granted issues.  The Court of Criminal Appeals will obtain affidavits from the trial defense counsel that respond to Appellant's allegation of ineffective assistance of counsel.  Under Article 66(c), Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 866(c) (2006), the Court of Criminal Appeals shall review the ineffective assistance of counsel issue in light of the affidavits and any other relevant matters.  See United States v. Ginn, 47 M.J. 238 (C.A.A.F. 1997).  If the court determines that a fact-finding hearing is necessary, that court shall order a hearing pursuant to United States v. DuBay, 17 C.M.A. 147, 37 C.M.R. 411 (1967).  Once the necessary information is obtained, the court will complete its Article 66(c), UCMJ, review.  Thereafter, Article 67, UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 867 (2006), shall apply.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]
