ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW

No. 98-0946/AR. U.S. v. Charles G. KNIGHT. CCA 9700322. Review
granted on the following issues:

I. WHETHER APPELLANT'S GUILTY PLEA TO CRUELTY AND MALTREATMENT WAS IMPROVIDENT BECAUSE THE APPELLANT'S ACTS ARE NOT "CRUELTY AND MALTREATMENT" AS ENVISIONED BY ARTICLE 93.

II. WHETHER A VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 93 IMPLICITLY REQUIRES THAT THE OFFENDER IN SOME WAY COMMIT HIS CRUELTY OR MALTREATMENT THROUGH AN OSTENSIBLE EXERCISE OF AUTHORITY.

III. WHETHER APPLICATION OF UCMJ ARTICLE 57(a)(1) IN APPELLANT'S CASE VIOLATES THE EX POST FACTO CLAUSE OF THE CONSTITUTION (U.S. Const. Art. 1 § 9) WHERE ALL OF THE OFFENSES OF WHICH APPELLANT WAS CONVICTED WERE COMMITTED BEFORE 1 APRIL 1996, THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF UCMJ ARTICLE 57(a)(1). United States v. Gorski, 47 MJ 370 (1997).

Judge Effron did not participate in this decision. See United States v. Gorski, 48 MJ 317 (1997). This is without prejudice to his future participation in this case should it subsequently be presented to this Court in a manner that does not require determination of the application of the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution to the amendments to Title 10, United States Code, made by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996, Pub.L.No. 104-106, 110 Stat. 462-63 (1996).

No. 99-0040/AR. U.S. v. Ronald L. DIGGS. CCA 9700186. Review granted on the following issues specified by the Court:

I. WHETHER THE EVIDENCE WAS LEGALLY SUFFICIENT TO CONVICT THE APPELLANT OF RESISTING APPREHENSION WHERE THE EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT SERGEANT VADEN INDICATED THAT HE AND THE APPELLANT WERE GOING TO GO TO THE MP STATION TOGETHER ALTHOUGH SERGEANT VADEN FAILED TO ADVISE THE APPELLANT IN ANY WAY THAT HE WAS UNDER APPREHENSION.

II. WHETHER THE EVIDENCE WAS LEGALLY SUFFICIENT TO CONVICT APPELLANT OF ASSAULTING A NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER WHILE THAT NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER WAS IN THE EXECUTION OF HIS OFFICE.

CERTIFICATES FOR REVIEW FILED

No. 99-5001/MC. United States, appellant, v. Ronnie A. CURTIS, appellee. CCA 87-3856. The Judge Advocate General of the Navy requests that action be taken with respect to the following issues:

I. WHETHER COURTS OF CRIMINAL APPEALS HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REASSESS SENTENCES IN CAPITAL CASES.
II. WHETHER THE NAVY-MARINE CORPS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS ABUSED ITS DISCRETION IN THIS CAPITAL CASE BY REASSESSING APPELLANT’S SENTENCE RATHER THAN ORDERING A REHEARING ON SENTENCE.
