APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 05-0145/AF.  U.S. v. John W. HOLMES.  CCA 35411.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals, said petition is granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE MATERIALLY PREJUDICED APPELLANT'S SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS WHEN SHE INSTRUCTED THE COURT MEMBERS IN SENTENCING THAT MILITARY CONFINEMENT FACILITIES ARE CORRECTIVE RATHER THAN PUNITIVE.

 

     In view of the inconsistency between the military judge’s instruction that confinement is a form of authorized punishment, see Article 58(a), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 858(a) (2000), Rule for Courts-Martial 1003(b)(7), Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (2002 ed.), and her instruction that the military confinement facilities are corrective rather than punitive, we hold that the sentencing instruction was erroneous.  Accordingly, the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to findings but reversed as to sentence.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force for remand to the Court of Criminal Appeals for reassessment of the sentence or remand for a sentence rehearing if the court concludes that it cannot appropriately reassess the sentence.  See United States v. Sales, 22 M.J. 305 (C.M.A. 1986).  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

     And the following issue personally asserted by Appellant:

PETITIONS FOR GRANT OF REVIEW - OTHER SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 05-0048/MC.  U.S. v. Julius E. LETT.  CCA 9901826.  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 findings of the Rule for Courts-Martial (R.C.M.) 706 Board did not include a finding as to whether or not, at the time of trial, Appellant suffered from a mental disease or defect that rendered him unable to understand the nature of the proceedings against him or to conduct or cooperate intelligently in his defense.  Accordingly, it is ordered that the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside; that the record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for transmission to an appropriate convening authority to re-open the factfinding hearing solely to determine the findings of the R.C.M. 706 Board regarding Appellant’s mental competency at the time of trial.  See United States v. DuBay, 17 C.M.A. 147, 37 C.M.R. 411 (1967).  At the conclusion of the DuBay hearing, the record will be transmitted to the Court of Criminal Appeals for further review under Article 66, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 866 (2000).  Thereafter, Article 67, UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 867 (2000), will apply.
