I.
IN AFFIRMING THE ABUSIVE SEXUAL CONTACT CONVICTION,
THE LOWER COURT RELIED ON FACTS OF WHICH THE MEMBERS ACQUITTED APPELLANT. WAS
THIS ERROR?
II. ARTICLE 120(d), UCMJ, PROHIBITS SEXUAL CONTACT ON ANOTHER PERSON WHEN THAT

Summary Dispositions
No. 16-0408/CG. U.S. v. Christopher C. Bush. CCA 1397. On consideration of
the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Coast
Guard Court of Criminal Appeals, it is ordered that said petition is hereby
granted, and the decision of the United States Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals is
affirmed.*
* It is noted that the CCA decision erroneously stated that Appellant was
convicted of "one specification of rape" in violation of Article 120,
UCMJ. Appellant was charged with and convicted of sexual
assault under Article 120, not rape.
No. 16-0468/AR. U.S.
v. James H. Lee. CCA 20140309. On consideration of
the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army
Court of Criminal Appeals, and in light of the conflicting affidavits between
Appellant and his trial defense counsel, we conclude that the Court of Criminal
Appeals erred when it failed to order a factfinding
hearing pursuant to United States v. DuBay, 17
C.M.A. 147, 37 C.M.R. 411
(1967), to determine the facts surrounding Appellant's allegations that his
trial defense counsel was ineffective in failing to identify and investigate
potential mitigation evidence for the presentencing hearing. See United
States v. Ginn, 47 M.J. 236 (C.A.A.F. 1997). Accordingly,
it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted on the following issue:
WHETHER
APPELLANT WAS DENIED HIS SIXTH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO THE EFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF
COUNSEL WHEN HIS DEFENSE COUNSEL FAILED TO IDENTIFY AND INVESTIGATE POTENTIAL
MITIGATION EVIDENCE.
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 of the granted issue. The
Court of Criminal Appeals shall order a hearing pursuant to DuBay.
Once the necessary information is obtained, the court will complete its Article
66(c),Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 866(c) (2012),
review. Thereafter, Article 67, UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 867 (2012), shall apply.

No. 16-0433/AR. U.S.
v. James E. Hopkins. CCA 20140913. 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 on the following personally asserted
issue:
WHETHER APPELLANT WAS DENIED EFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF
COUNSEL AT TRIAL.
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 of the granted issue. The
Court of Criminal Appeals will obtain affidavits from civilian and military
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) (2012),
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. 236 (C.A.A.F. 1997).
If the court determines that a factfinding 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 (2012), shall apply.
