Interlocutory Orders

 

No. 16-0651/AF. U.S. v. Nicole A. Dalmazzi. CCA 38808. On further consideration of the granted issues, it appears that the record of trial and joint appendix contain information documenting the President's nomination of Colonel Martin Mitchell to the United States Court of Military Commission Review (CMCR), as well as the Senate's confirmation of Colonel Mitchell to that position. However, it does not appear that there is adequate evidence in the record demonstrating that Colonel Mitchell was subsequently appointed to the CMCR. Accordingly, it is ordered that on or before the 8th day of November, 2016, counsel for the parties shall file documentation with the Court relating to Colonel Mitchell's 2016 appointment and commission to the CMCR, and establishing the date when he took the oath of office to execute that appointment.
