APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 11-0566/MC.  U.S. v. Alan D. SOBENES.  CCA 201000381.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, we note that the convening authority approved the sentence, which included a dishonorable discharge, and then stated "the adjudged sentence is approved and will be executed."  Under Article 71(c)(1), UCMJ, a punitive discharge cannot be ordered executed until, after the completion of direct appellate review, there is a final judgment as to the legality of the proceedings.  Thus, to the extent that the convening authority's action purported to execute the dishonorable discharge, it was a nullity.  To avoid any error in this regard, we again suggest that the model "Forms for Action" in the Manual for Courts-Martial, United States app. 16 at A16-1 – A16-6 (2008 ed.) be revised.  See United States v. Karras, 70 M.J. 25 (C.A.A.F. 2011); United States v. Politte, 63 M.J. 24, 26 n.11 (C.A.A.F. 2006).  Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted, and that, subject to the above, the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 12-6005/AF.  U.S. v. Robert C. BRISSETTE.  CCA 2011-07.  On consideration of the certificate of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals on appeal by the United States under Article 62, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 862 (2006), and Appellee's motion to dismiss, it is ordered that the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed, and the motion to dismiss is denied.*

 

* BAKER, Chief Judge (concurring in part, dissenting in part):

 

A summary affirmance is consistent with the majority's position in United States v. Fosler, 70 M.J. 225 (C.A.A.F. 2011), and in light of Fosler, correctly resulted in the granting of Appellee's petition for extraordinary relief on January 3, 2012.  However, because I adhere to my position in Fosler, I concur in denying the motion to dismiss, but dissent with regard to the Fosler issues for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Fosler.  70 M.J. 225, 240-47 (C.A.A.F. 2011).

 

No. 12-6004/AR.  U.S. v. Eric W. COOPER.  CCA 20110914.  On consideration of the certificate for review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals on appeal by the United States under Article 62, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 862 (2006), and oral argument, we note that because the Army Court of Criminal Appeals has returned the underlying matter to the military judge for clarification, no ripe interlocutory issue exists for this Court to decide.  Given the procedural posture of this case, any decision we render on the certified issues would be premature.  Accordingly, it is ordered that the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.

RULES CHANGES

 

Upon careful consideration of certain proposed changes to the Rules of Practice and Procedure, United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, which were presented to and reviewed by the Rules Advisory Committee of the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces and thereafter published in the Federal Register for comment, it is ordered that effective April 1, 2012, Rule 13A and Rule 19(b) are hereby amended as provided in the attachment to this Order (changes appear in bold typeface), and Rule 27(a)(4) is hereby rescinded.

 

Rule 13A:

 

Add new subparagraph (h) as follows:

 

            (h) Time for Filing.  An amicus brief submitted under this Rule is not subject to the time limitation in Rule 26(b), but such brief shall be filed no less than 14 days before the scheduled date for oral argument.  Both the appellant and the appellee may file a reply to such brief within 7 days of the filing thereof, subject to the limitations specified in Rule 24(b) and (c).

 

Rule 19(b):

 

            (b) Certificate for review/brief/answer/reply

 

            (1) Article 62, UCMJ, cases.  In cases involving a decision by a Court of Criminal Appeals on appeal by the United States under Article 62, UCMJ, 10 USC § 862, a certificate for review, together with a supporting brief in accordance with Rule 24 on behalf of the appellant, shall be filed with the Court by the Judge Advocate General no later than 60 days after the date of the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals. [Remainder of paragraph is unchanged.]

 

(2) Extraordinary Relief Cases.  In cases involving a decision by a Court of Criminal Appeals on application for extraordinary relief filed therein, a certificate for review, together with a supporting brief in accordance with Rule 24 on behalf of the appellant, shall be filed with the Court by the Judge Advocate General no later than 60 days after the date of the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals.  [Remainder of paragraph is unchanged.]

 

            (3) Other Cases.  In all other cases involving a decision by a Court of Criminal Appeals, a certificate for review filed by the Judge Advocate General shall be filed either (a) no later than 60 days after the date of the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals, or (b) no later than 30 days after a petition for grant of review is granted.  [Remainder of paragraph is unchanged.]

 

 

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 12-0293/NA.  U.S. v. Adam G. HALL.  CCA 201000671.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted, and the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.*  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 

* It is directed that the promulgating order be corrected to include the sentencing date.

 

No. 12-0301/CG.  U.S. v. Patrick L. MURPHY.  CCA 0274.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals, we note that the convening authority approved the sentence, which included a dishonorable discharge, and then stated "the adjudged sentence is approved and will be executed."  Under Article 71(c)(1), UCMJ, a punitive discharge cannot be ordered executed until, after the completion of direct appellate review, there is a final judgment as to the legality of the proceedings.  Thus, to the extent that the convening authority's action purported to execute the dishonorable discharge, it was a nullity.  To avoid any error in this regard, we again suggest that the model "Forms for Action" in Manual for Courts-Martial, United States app. 16 at A16-1 - A16-6 (2008) ed.) be revised.  See United States v. Politte, 63 M.J. 24, 26 n.11 (C.A.A.F. 2006).  Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted, and that subject to the above, the decision of the United States Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]
