APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 05-0674/AR.  U.S. v. Jeremy M. PHILLIPPE.  CCA 20040616.  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 issue:


WHETHER THE ARMY COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS ABUSED ITS DISCRETION IN REASSESSING APPELLANT’S SENTENCE, HAVING ALREADY CONCEDED THAT IT COULD NOT BE REASONABLY CERTAIN WHAT SENTENCE MIGHT BE IMPOSED AT THE TRIAL LEVEL.

 

We conclude that the Court of Criminal Appeals abused its discretion in reassessing Appellant’s sentence.  Accordingly, the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed as to the sentence, but is affirmed in all other respects.  The sentence is set aside.  The record is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army.  A rehearing on sentence may be ordered.
