Miscellaneous Docket - Filing

 

No. 22-0009/AR. AV2, Appellant v. John H. Cook, Colonel, U.S. Army, Appellee and Clinton Murray, Master Sergeant, U.S. Army, Real Party in Interest. CCA 20210409. Notice is given that a writ-appeal petition for review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals on application for extraordinary relief in the nature of writ of mandamus was filed under Rule 27(b) on this date.

 

Miscellaneous Docket - Summary Disposition

 

No. 21-0336/AF. In re David H. Juillerat. CCA 34205. On consideration of the petition for extraordinary relief in the nature of writ of error coram nobis, habeas corpus, mandamus, and request for clarification, it is ordered that the petition is denied.

 

Appeals - Summary Dispositions

 

No. 20-0358/AR. U.S. v. Carlos Muniz, Jr. CCA 20200092. On consideration of Appellant's petition for reconsideration and on further consideration of the granted issue, 80 M.J. 401 (C.A.A.F. 2020), we conclude that because Appellant was found guilty of at least one offense that occurred prior to January 1, 2019, the convening authority erred in taking "no action" on the sentence. However, because the charges were referred in this case after January 1, 2019, this error was procedural, and the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals had jurisdiction to review Appellant's case. See United States v. Brubaker-Escobar, 81 M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. Sept. 7, 2021). Having reviewed the record of trial, we determine that the procedural error did not materially prejudice a substantial right. Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition for reconsideration is granted, that the Order in this case of June 29, 201 is vacated, and the judgment of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.

 

No. 21-0040/AR. U.S. v. Leshan Jones. CCA 20190254. On further consideration of the granted issue, 80 M.J. 458 (C.A.A.F. 2020), we conclude that because Appellant was found guilty of at least one offense that occurred prior to January 1, 2019, the convening authority erred in taking "no action" on the sentence. However, because the charges were referred in this case after January 1, 2019, this error was procedural, and the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals had jurisdiction to review Appellant's case. See United States v. Brubaker-Escobar, 81 M.J. __, (C.A.A.F. Sept. 7, 2021). Having reviewed the record of trial, we determine that the procedural error did not materially prejudice a substantial right. Accordingly, it is ordered that the judgment of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.

 

No. 21-0078/AR. U.S. v. Montana J. Miller. CCA 20190597. On consideration of Appellant's motion to file the petition for reconsideration out of time, the petition for reconsideration and on further consideration of the granted issue (81 M.J. 50 (C.A.A.F. 2021)), we conclude that because Appellant was found guilty of at least one offense that occurred prior to January 1, 2019, the convening authority erred in taking "no action" on the sentence. However, because the charges were referred in this case after January 1, 2019, this error was procedural, and the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals had jurisdiction to review Appellant's case. See United States v. Brubaker-Escobar, 81 M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. Sept. 7, 2021). Having reviewed the record of trial, we determine that the procedural error did not materially prejudice a substantial right. Accordingly, it is ordered that the motion to file a petition for reconsideration out of time is granted, that the petition for reconsideration is granted, that the Order in this case of June 29, 2021 is vacated, and the judgment of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.

 

No. 21-0126/AF. U.S. v. James A. Aumont. CCA 39673. On further consideration of the granted issue, 81 M.J. 158 (C.A.A.F. 2021), we conclude that because Appellant was found guilty of at least one offense that occurred prior to January 1, 2019, the convening authority erred in taking "no action" on the sentence. However, because the charges were referred in this case after January 1, 2019, this error was procedural, and the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals had jurisdiction to review Appellant's case. See United States v. Brubaker-Escobar, 81 M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. Sept. 7, 2021). In light of this Court's recent decision in Brubaker-Escobar, we deem it appropriate to remand this case to the Court of Criminal Appeals so that the lower court may directly address the issue of whether the procedural error materially prejudiced a substantial right of Appellant. Accordingly, it is ordered that the record of trial is returned to The Judge Advocate General of the Air Force for remand to the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals for a determination of whether the procedural error materially prejudiced a substantial right of Appellant.

 

No. 21-0134/AR. U.S. v. Luis E. Ramirez. CCA 20190367. On consideration of Appellant's petition for reconsideration and on further consideration of the granted issue, 81 M.J. 239 (C.A.A.F. 2021), we conclude that because Appellant was found guilty of at least one offense that occurred prior to January 1, 2019, the convening authority erred in taking "no action" on the sentence. However, because the charges were referred in this case after January 1, 2019, this error was procedural, and the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals had jurisdiction to review Appellant's case. See United States v. Brubaker-Escobar, 81 M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. Sept. 7, 2021). Having reviewed the record of trial, we determine that the procedural error did not materially prejudice a substantial right. Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition for reconsideration is granted, that the Order in this case of June 29, 2021 is vacated and the judgment of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.

 

No. 21-0201/AR. U.S. v. Adrian L. Ingram, Jr. CCA 20190610. On consideration of Appellant's petition for reconsideration and on further consideration of the granted issue, 81 M.J. ___ (C.A.A.F. May 4, 2021), we conclude that because Appellant was found guilty of at least one offense that occurred prior to January 1, 2019, the convening authority erred in taking "no action" on the sentence. However, because the charges were referred in this case after January 1, 2019, this error was procedural, and the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals had jurisdiction to review Appellant's case. See United States v. Brubaker-Escobar, 81 M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. Sept. 7, 2021). Having reviewed the record of trial, we determine that the procedural error did not materially prejudice a substantial right. Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition for reconsideration is granted, that the Order in this case of June 29, 2021 is vacated, and the judgment of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.

 

No. 21-0234/AR. U.S. v. Logan T. Kyle. CCA 20190372. On further consideration of the granted issue, 81 M.J. ___ (C.A.A.F. June 4, 2021), we conclude that because Appellant was found guilty of at least one offense that occurred prior to January 1, 2019, the convening authority erred in taking "no action" on the sentence. However, because the charges were referred in this case after January 1, 2019, this error was procedural, and the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals had jurisdiction to review Appellant's case.

Interlocutory Order

 

No. 21-0354/AF. U.S. v. Jamal X. Washington. CCA 39761. On consideration of Appellant's petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals, and Appellee's motion to dismiss the petition, it is noted that the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed some findings of guilt and set aside other findings of guilt and the sentence and authorized a rehearing. Under Article 67(c), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 867(c) (2018), this Court has jurisdiction to consider the petition. However, given the possibility of a rehearing, the petition is not ripe for review at this time. Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition for grant of review is denied without prejudice to Appellant's right to raise the matters asserted during the normal course of appellate review, and the motion to dismiss is denied as moot.
