No. 11-0361/AR.  U.S. v. Mark C. CHARTIER.  CCA 20100312.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, we note that Appellant raises for the first time on appeal an issue that was not presented to the lower court that requires factfinding.  In accordance with C.A.A.F. R. 30A, it is appropriate for the Court of Criminal Appeals to consider this issue initially.  Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER THE CONVENING AUTHORITY FAILED TO COMPLY WITH A MATERIAL TERM OF THE PRETRIAL AGREEMENT BY FAILING TO WAIVE AUTOMATIC FORFEITURES.

 

The decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside, and the case is returned to the Judge Advocate General for remand to the Court of Criminal Appeals for further review under Article 66, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 866 (2006).  Thereafter, Article 67, UCMJ, will apply.   [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 11-6003/AR.  U.S. v. Michael A. PRINCE.  CCA 20100939.  On further consideration of the certified issue, 69 M.J. 499 (C.A.A.F. 2011), the briefs of the parties, and oral argument, we note that when acting on interlocutory appeals under Article 62, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 862 (2006), we may only act with respect to matters of law.  United States v. Cossio, 64 M.J. 254, 256 (C.A.A.F. 2007); Article 67(c), UCMJ.  To overturn a military judge’s evidentiary ruling on appeal, there must be a showing that the challenged ruling was an abuse of discretion.  United States v. Taylor , 53 M.J. 195, 199 (C.A.A.F. 2000).  In view of the evidence of record, the military judge did not err as a matter of law.  Accordingly, the certified issue is answered in the negative and the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.

II.       ALTHOUGH THE CRIME OF INDECENT ACTS WITH A CHILD TO WHICH APPELLANT PLEADED GUILTY WAS NOT A LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSE OF THE CHARGED CRIME OF RAPE OF A CHILD AND THUS HAD NOT BEEN FORMALLY REFERRED TO TRIAL BY COURT-MARTIAL BY THE CONVENING AUTHORITY, WHETHER APPELLANT WAIVED SUCH IRREGULARITY BY PLEADING GUILTY UNDER A PRETRIAL AGREEMENT TO INDECENT ACTS WITH A CHILD IN VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 134, WHERE NEITHER THE PRETRIAL AGREEMENT NOR APPELLANT'S PLEA AT ARRAIGNMENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH EITHER POTENTIAL TERMINAL ELEMENT FOR AN ARTICLE 134 CLAUSE 1 OR 2 SPECIFICATION, BUT BOTH ELEMENTS WERE DISCUSSED AND ADMITTED DURING THE PROVIDENCE INQUIRY.
