APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 13-0205/AR.  U.S. v. Justin C. QUINN.  CCA 20110159.  On further consideration of the granted issue, 72 M.J. 95 (C.A.A.F. 2013), and in view of Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003), and United States v. Elhelou, __ M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. 2013) (summary disposition), it is ordered that the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.*

 

*  STUCKY, Judge (dissenting):

 

I respectfully dissent from the summary disposition of this case.  See United States v. Elhelou, __ M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. 2013) (Stucky, J., dissenting). 

 

No. 13-0235/AR.  U.S. v. Waseem ELHELOU.  CCA 20110246.  On further consideration of the granted issues, 72 M.J. 253 (C.A.A.F. 2013), we conclude that there is no substantial basis in law or fact to question the providence of Appellant's pleas.  During the plea colloquy, the military judge sufficiently explained to Appellant that private, consensual, sexual activity, absent an aggravating factor, is not punishable as an indecent act, but that "open and notorious" sexual activity is punishable as an indecent act, in violation of Article 120(k), Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 920(k) (2006 & Supp. I 2007), repealed by National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Pub. L. No. 112-81, § 541(a)(6), 125 Stat. 1298, 1406 (2011).  Appellant then admitted sufficient facts to establish that his conduct amounted to "open and notorious" sexual activity:  that he engaged in sexual conduct with a fellow servicemember while in the presence of additional servicemembers in an unlocked barracks room of two other servicemembers who were reasonably likely to observe the sexual activity because they could have returned at any time.  The dialogue between the military judge and Appellant amply demonstrates that Appellant understood why his conduct was subject to criminal sanction.  See Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003); United States v. Hartman, 69 M.J. 467 (C.A.A.F. 2011); see also United States v. Medina, 72 M.J. 148 (C.A.A.F. 2013); United States v. Goings, 72 M.J. 202 (C.A.A.F. 2013).  Accordingly, it is ordered that the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.*

 

*  STUCKY, Judge (dissenting): 

 

Appellant stands convicted, pursuant to his pleas, of two specifications of indecent acts for engaging in sexual intercourse with a female soldier and placing his penis in her mouth while in the presence of other soldiers who were also engaging in sexual conduct with the same female in violation of Article 120(k), Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 920(k) (Supp. I 2007).  Citing this Court's recent opinion in United States v. Goings, 72 M.J. 202 (C.A.A.F. 2013), the majority affirms Appellant's convictions on the grounds that his plea was provident because the military judge sufficiently explained the difference between private, consensual, sexual activity and "open and notorious" sexual activity that is punishable as an indecent act, and Appellant admitted sufficient facts to establish that his conduct amounted to "open and notorious" sexual activity.  United States v. Elhelou, __ M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. 2013) (summary disposition).

 

During the plea inquiry, the military judge informed Appellant that "Article 120, UCMJ, is not intended to regulate the wholly private, consensual, sexual activities of individuals," and that in the "absence of aggravating circumstances" such conduct is "not punishable as an indecent act."  Appellant did not admit to engaging in non-consensual or "public" conduct for the two specifications at issue.  Rather, he admitted that his conduct was not protected under Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003), because it was indecent, specifically, because it was "open and notorious."

 

I was concerned, in Goings, with using "open and notorious," as defined by this Court, as a standard for indecency under Article 134, UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 934 (2006), and am even more concerned with using it under Article 120, UCMJ, which was not designed to address military-specific offenses. See Goings, 72 M.J. at 213-14 (Stucky, J., dissenting).  However, even assuming the "open and notorious" standard is a viable metric to determine indecency under Article 120, UCMJ, after Lawrence, I am not convinced that engaging in sexual activity in the consensual presence of another individual or individuals, an unlocked door, the involvement of other servicemembers, or the fact that someone may have walked in on the activity, but did not, necessarily renders conduct indecent.1

 

I believe this Court needs to address, in a non-summary fashion:  (1) the tension between this Court's definition of "indecency," specifically the "open and notorious" standard, and the liberty interest identified in Lawrence -- especially now that the offense has moved from Article 134 to Article 120; and (2) what military-specific factors, if any, render conduct indecent such that it is outside the protections of Lawrence.  Given the above, I respectfully dissent.

______________________________________

 

1  I agree that, depending on the circumstances, such conduct may rise to the level of "public conduct" and fall outside the protections of Lawrence, or may constitute an offense under another provision of the UCMJ.  See Goings, 72 M.J. at 212-14 & nn.7, 13 (Stucky, J., dissenting).

 

No. 13-0240/AR.  U.S. v. Bradley G. HOWARD.  CCA 20110109.  On further consideration of the granted issue, 72 M.J. 259 (C.A.A.F. 2013), we conclude that the issue was forfeited, rather than waived.  See United States v. Goings, 72 M.J. 202 (C.A.A.F. 2013).  We also conclude that the conduct in question -- which involved a fellow servicemember, and occurred while in the presence of two additional servicemembers in the unlocked barracks room of two other servicemembers who were reasonably likely to unintentionally observe the sexual activity -- was not plainly "private" under Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003), see United States v. Elhelou, __ M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. 2013) (summary disposition), and therefore the failure of the military judge to raise a Lawrence issue sua sponte was not plain error. Accordingly, it is ordered that the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.*

 

*  STUCKY, Judge (dissenting): 

 

I respectfully dissent from the summary disposition of this case.  See United States v. Elhelou, __ M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. 2013) (Stucky, J., dissenting); see also United States v. Goings, 72 M.J. 202, 214-14 & n.7 (C.A.A.F. 2013) (Stucky, J., dissenting) (discussing the conception of "private" conduct under Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003)).

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 13-0321/NA.  U.S. v. Christopher R. MORGAN.  CCA 201200141.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, we conclude that the aggravated sexual assault specification alleging the insertion of Appellant's finger into VM's vagina by causing bodily harm (specification 3 of Charge I) is a lesser included offense of the rape specification alleging the insertion of Appellant's finger into VM's vagina by using force (specification 1 of Charge I).  United States v. Alston, 69 M.J. 214, 216 (C.A.A.F. 2010).  We also conclude that the aggravated sexual assault specification alleging the insertion of Appellant's penis into VM's vagina by causing bodily harm (specification 4 of Charge I) is a lesser included offense of the rape specification alleging the insertion of Appellant's penis into VM's vagina by force (specification 2 of Charge I).  Id.  The aggravated sexual assault specifications therefore are impermissibly multiplicious of the rape specifications.  United States v. Palagar, 56 M.J. 294, 296 (C.A.A.F. 2002); see also Brown v. Ohio, 432 U.S. 161, 165-69 (1977).  Thus, we dismiss the two aggravated sexual assault specifications.  See United States v. Leak, 61 M.J. 234, 249 (C.A.A.F. 2005); Palagar, 56 M.J. at 297.  However, because the military judge merged the rape and aggravated sexual assault specifications as one offense for sentencing purposes and instructed the panel that it could only sentence Appellant for one rape offense, we are convinced that he was not prejudiced for sentencing by the multiplicity.  See Palagar, 56 M.J. at 297.  Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition is granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER APPELLANT WAS SUBJECTED TO MULTIPLICITY WHEN THE GOVERNMENT CHARGED HIM WITH RAPE AND AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT BY CAUSING BODILY HARM FOR THE SAME ACTS.

 

The decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed as to specifications 3 and 4 of Charge I, but is affirmed in all other respects.  The findings of guilty as to specifications 3 and 4 of Charge I are set aside and those specifications are dismissed.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]
