SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS
No. 14-0603/AR. U.S. v. Ryan R. MCINTYRE. CCA 20130374. 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 hereby granted, and the
decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.* [See
also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]
*The military judge
merged Specifications 1 and 2 of Charge I and convicted Appellant of the
offense of conspiracy to steal and sell fuel, military property of the United
States. The new specification is found
at Appellate Exhibit V. However, the
court-martial promulgating order omitted the words, "and selling of fuel" from
Appellate Exhibit V. Accordingly, we
direct that the court-martial promulgating order be corrected by adding the
words "and selling of fuel" after the words, "larceny of fuel."

SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS
No. 14-0519/AR. U.S. v. Cerion R. ALLEN. CCA 20120742. On
consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United
States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, we agree with Appellant's personally
asserted contention that the facts established during the plea inquiry and in
the stipulation of fact demonstrate only a single conspiracy. Appellant was convicted of one conspiracy to
commit robbery (Specification 2 of Charge II) and one conspiracy to commit
burglary (Specification 3 of Charge II), but the plea inquiry and stipulation
of fact show that there was only one agreement between Appellant and his
co-conspirators to break into and rob the alleged drug house. Therefore, Specification 3 of Charge II
should be consolidated with Specification 2 of Charge II to become a single
specification. See United States v.
Pereira, 53 M.J. 183 (C.A.A.F. 2000); United States v. Reliford, 27
M.J. 176 (C.M.A. 1988) (summary disposition).
Although the conspiracy offenses are consolidated, we are satisfied that
Appellant suffered no prejudice as to his sentence. Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition
is granted on the following personally asserted issue:
WHETHER IT WAS ERROR
TO CONVICT APPELLANT SEPARATELY FOR SPECIFICATION 2 (CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT
ROBBERY) AND SPECIFICATION 3 (CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT BURGLARY) OF CHARGE II.
Specifications 2 and 3 of Charge II are
consolidated to allege the following conspiracy specification:
CHARGE II:
VIOLATION OF THE UCMJ, ARTICLE 81.
SPECIFICATION 2: In that Private First Class Cerion R. Allen,
U.S. Army, did, at or near Fort Bragg, North Carolina on or about 29 January
2011, conspire with Private (E1) Cordic L. Coleman, Private First Class
Kamarques K. Dyess, Private (E1) Bryan C. N. Alston, and Private First Class
Shelton A. Hunt to commit offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice,
to wit: robbery with a firearm and burglary, and in order to effect the object
of the conspiracy the said Private First Class Cerion R. Allen did dress in
black, acquire a firearm, travel to the dwelling house of another, conceal his
face, kick in the back door of said dwelling house to gain entrance, and enter
the back door of said dwelling house.
The decision of the United States Army Court
of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to Charge I and its Specification, Charge II
and Specification 2 (consolidated), Charges III through VI and their
Specifications, and the sentence. [See

SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS
No. 14-0364/AR. U.S. v. Keith A. JACKSON. CCA 20120026.
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 hereby granted, and the
decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.* [See
also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]
* It is directed that the promulgating order be
corrected to reflect that Appellant was found guilty of Charge I.
No. 14-0567/AR. U.S. v. Michael C. EVANS. CCA 20130251.
On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of
the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, we note that Specification 3
of Charge IV charged Appellant with violating clause 1 of Article 134, not
clause 2. However, the providence
inquiry focused on clause 2 of Article 134, and there was no discussion on the
record of clause 1. This was reversible
error, where Appellant was unaware of one of the elements of the offense,
either explicitly or inferentially. See
United States v. Schell, 72 M.J. 339 (C.A.A.F.
2013). Accordingly, it is ordered that
said petition is granted on the following issue:
WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE ERRED BY ACCEPTING
APPELLANT'S PLEA OF GUILTY TO BREACH OF RESTRICTION TO THE PREJUDICE OF GOOD
ORDER AND DISCIPLINE IN THE ARMED FORCES (SPECIFICATION 3 OF CHARGE IV) WITHOUT
QUESTIONING APPELLANT REGARDING CLAUSE 1 OF ARTICLE 134, UCMJ.
The decision of the United States Army Court
of Criminal Appeals is reversed as to Specification 3 of Charge IV, and the
finding of guilty is set aside. The
remaining findings are affirmed. The
record is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for remand to the
Court of Criminal Appeals. That court
may either dismiss Specification 3 of Charge IV and
reassess the sentence based on the affirmed findings, or it may order a
rehearing on the affected specification and the sentence. [See also ORDERS

discrepancies in the matters filed pursuant to United States v. Grostefon,

once provided, the matters total 24 pages and therefore exceed the maximum
limit of 15 pages under CAAF Rule 21A(a). Accordingly, it is ordered that
Appellant shall submit a complete set of Grostefon matters in compliance
with the 15-page limit of CAAF Rule 21A(a) on or before June 12, 2014.

APPEALS
- SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS
No. 14-5004/AF. U.S. v. Nicholas T. BURNS. CCA S32084. On consideration of the issue certified by the Judge
Advocate General of the Air Force, 73 M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. Daily Journal Mar. 13,
2014), Appellee's motion to supplement the record, Appellant's motion to
supplement the record, and the briefs of the parties, we conclude that the United
States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals did not abuse its discretion in
finding that Appellee's conviction of the greater offense of willful and
wrongful discharge of a firearm under circumstances such as to endanger human
life was factually insufficient and in affirming a finding of guilt as to the
lesser included offense of negligent discharge of a firearm. Accordingly, it is
ordered that the motions to supplement the record are granted, the certified
issue is answered in the negative, and the decision of the United States Air
Force Court of Criminal Appeals is hereby affirmed.
