APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 05-0627/MC.  U.S. v. Mikki E. ASHLEY.  CCA 9901546.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy–Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, it is ordered that said petition is hereby 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.]

 

No. 07-0338/AR.  U.S. v. Jason L. LEWIS.  CCA 20040226.  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.]

 

No. 07-0524/AR.  U.S. v. Lamonous T. BONNER.  CCA 20040196.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, we note an ambiguity in the decision whereby the Army Court affirmed “the findings of guilty and the sentence” without reference to the findings and sentence affirmed by the convening authority.  In his action, the convening authority set aside the finding of guilty to the lesser included offense of consensual sodomy in Charge II and its Specification and dismissed that charge and its specification with prejudice.  Also, the convening authority approved only so much of the sentence as provided for reduction to the pay grade E-1, confinement for 58 months, and a bad-conduct discharge.  Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted, and the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed only to the extent that it affirms the finding and the sentence as approved by the convening authority.*  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

_____________________________

 

* In addition, the Army Court erroneously refers to Appellant as Lamanous T. Bonner.  The record of trial and the promulgating order correctly refer to him as Lamonous T. Bonner.

PETITIONS FOR GRANT OF REVIEW - OTHER SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 06-0294/AR.  U.S. v. LAMEL D. BURLESON.  CCA 20020262.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review and briefs of the parties, it is noted that this case has been returned to this Court after having been remanded by prior order to the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals for the purpose of further factfinding.  United States v. Burleson, 64 M.J. 92 (C.A.A.F. 2006).  On remand, the Army Court of Criminal Appeals vacated its decision that had affirmed the findings and sentence, and it stayed the proceedings until such time as Appellant regains the mental capacity to understand and cooperate in his appeal, or the Judge Advocate General requests the case be remanded to the same or different convening authority for appropriate action.  The parties concur that, in light of the vacation, this appeal is not ripe for review before this Court.  Accordingly, said petition is dismissed without prejudice.
