INTERLOCUTORY ORDERS
No. 01-0214/AF. U.S. v. Michael W. HAWKINS. CCA 33087. On consideration of the granted issue, and in light of the pleadings and oral arguments of both parties, it is, ordered that, if the parties are able to agree, they shall jointly file a stipulation of fact within thirty days of this order answering the following questions:
2. What is the current status of the civil
suit? If still
pending, is Major General Hinton a party?
If so, is he
being sued in his personal or official capacity?
Did
the United States Government move for Major
General
Hinton’s dismissal?
3. If the civil case is not still pending,
what was the
result? Was Major General Hinton found liable
in either
a personal or official capacity? Was he found
not
liable?
That, if after the joint filing of any stipulation of fact or the Government’s filing of the official records of the civil suit, it is clear the civil suit is still pending and Major General Hinton remains a party in either his personal or official capacity, appellant shall within thirty days of the filing of the stipulation or the official records file a supplemental brief answering the following questions:
2. UNDER WHAT THEORY OF UNITED KINGDOM AND UNITED STATES LAW CAN A CONVENING AUTHORITY BE HELD PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ACTIONS TAKEN IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY?
That appellant may within thirty days of the filing of the Government’s answer file a reply thereto.
CRAWFORD, Chief Judge (dissenting):
I would affirm the decision without ordering additional information from the parties. The Court’s order, in essence, requires the Government to carry appellant’s burden.
A brief recitation of the facts is necessary. In October 1996, appellant was stationed at RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom. He and his wife, a citizen of Greece, lived in Norfolk County, England, on property that was neither leased nor controlled by the United States. On or about October 3, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) and the Norfolk County Constabulary searched appellant’s home pursuant to a search authorization which the AFOSI obtained from RAF Lakenheath’s military magistrate. Evidence was seized from appellant’s home that belonged to Eagle Alarm & Electronics, a business operated by appellant’s wife and her brother, Mr. Theo Vrettos (also a citizen of Greece).
On July 9, 1997, Major General (MG) Oelstrom, Commander, Third Air Force, referred the charges and specifications against appellant to a general court-martial. By August 5, 1997, MG Hinton had assumed command of the Third Air Force, and in his role as the general court-martial convening authority, amended the convening order in appellant’s case. On October 9, Ioanna Hawkins and Theo Vrettos filed a civil suit in the High Court of England and Wales against several named defendants, including MG Hinton, based on a purported illegal search of appellant’s home and improper seizure of items on or about October 3, 1996. At trial, appellant moved to disqualify MG Hinton as the convening authority based on his status as a defendant in the aforementioned lawsuit. The motion was denied.
Appellant’s argument is that because his wife sued a successor-in-command, who was not involved with the search of their home (the subject of the civilian lawsuit), this successor-in-command could not be the convening authority in appellant’s court-martial. This argument defies logic.
The military judge made the following findings of fact:
We find it unnecessary to analyze British law or the Status of Forces Agreement with the United Kingdom on the question of whether Major General Hinton could be held personally liable for the actions of his subordinates in conducting the search of appellant’s off-base residence on 6 October 1996. The reason for this approach is simple. First, Major General Hinton was not the commander and, therefore, not the general court-martial convening authority for Third Air Force when the search was conducted. Second, even under some expansive theory of respondeat superior in English law, if a judgment for monetary damages were returned against Major General Hinton, he would suffer no monetary loss because he was acting within the scope of his employment. Air Force Instruction (AFI) 51-301, Civil Litigation, ¶ 3.15 (25 Jul 94); 10 U.S.C. § 8013.
However, we do not resolve this issue on that basis alone. Instead, we will examine Major General Hinton’s conduct as the convening authority to see if we can glean any animosity or unfairness towards the appellant. Major General Hinton entered into a pretrial agreement with the appellant. Under its terms, he agreed to withdraw over half of the charges against the appellant. Additionally, although the maximum authorized confinement for the offenses to which the appellant pled guilty was 20 years, Major General Hinton agreed he would not approve confinement in excess of 15 months. He also deferred the imposition of the adjudged forfeitures until he took action. Finally, he approved confinement for only 10 months if the appellant paid the fine. These are hardly the actions of someone who was angry about being named as a defendant in a civil lawsuit or concerned about personal liability. We find that any reasonable person looking at all the facts in the appellant’s case would conclude the convening authority had no personal interest or feeling in the outcome of the court-martial. Rather than being inflexible in the case sub judice, Major General Hinton acted fairly and reasonably.
Unless there is a jurisdictional issue, "the burden of persuasion on any factual issue ... necessary to decide a motion shall be on the moving party." RCM 905(c)(2)(A)&(B), Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (2000 ed.).* We have held that the question of who is an "accuser" within the meaning of the Code is nonjurisdictional and may be waived. See, e.g., United States v. Jeter, 35 MJ 442, 447 (CMA 1992); see alsoUnited States v. Reist, 50 MJ 108, 110 (1999)(director of law center who personally preferred charges was disqualified, but issue waived); United States v. Tittel, 53 MJ 313, 314-15 (2000)(potential disqualification of convening authority was waived); but see United States v. Dinges, 49 MJ 232 (1998)(waiver not applied where disqualifying information obtained post-trial; however, after a DuBay hearing, findings and sentence affirmed. 55 MJ 308 (2001)).
Appellant seeks to disqualify the convening authority who was not in command at the time of the search. This convening authority gave no actual authority to the individuals conducting the search, and because he was not in command at the time, there can be no reasonable apparent authority derived from his later assumption of command and convening authority roles. The defense has cited no authority that makes a convening authority personally liable for the torts of a predecessor or his agents. Additionally, paragraph 5(g), Article VIII, of the NATO Status of Forces Agreement provides:
When one removes all the trappings, it appears the majority has shifted appellant’s burden to the Government by asking for facts and legal argument under a "potential liability" theory. Since appellant has failed to present a theory under which MG Hinton could be held personally liable and have to pay damages out of his own pocket, or otherwise be disqualified as the successor convening authority, I respectfully dissent.
