Appeals - Summary Dispositions

 

No. 14-0660/AR. U.S. v. Michael C. Budka. CCA 20120435.  On further consideration of the granted issues (74 M.J. __ (C.A.A.F. Oct. 23, 2014)), and the briefs of the parties, we first conclude that the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals did not abuse its discretion and did not violate the principle of party presentation, as outlined in Greenlaw v. United States, 554 U.S. 237, 243-44 (2008), when it summarily affirmed the finding of guilty to the offense of aggravated assault after the Government conceded that the factual predicate for that offense had not been met.  Under Article 66(c), Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 866(c) (2012), the Court of Criminal Appeals may affirm only such findings of guilty as it finds correct in law and fact, and "[i]n considering the record, it may weigh the evidence, judge the credibility of witnesses, and determine controverted questions of fact, recognizing that the trial court saw and heard the witnesses."  These factfinding powers are "unparalleled among civilian appellate tribunals," and the decision in Greenlaw did not take those powers into consideration. United States v. Baker, 28 M.J. 121, 122 (C.M.A. 1989).  Neither the Court of Criminal Appeals, nor this Court, is bound by government concessions. See United States v. Emmons, 31 M.J. 108, 110 (C.M.A. 1990); United States v. Hand, 11 M.J. 321, 321 (C.M.A. 1981); United States v. Wille, 9 C.M.A. 623, 627, 26 C.M.R. 403, 407 (1958); United States v. McNamara, 7 C.M.A. 575, 578, 23 C.M.R. 39, 42 (1957); United States v. Patrick, 2 C.M.A. 189, 191, 7 C.M.R. 65, 67 (1953).  Second, we conclude that Appellant's plea of guilty to aggravated assault was provident and that the military judge did not abuse her discretion by accepting the plea.  Accordingly, it is ordered that the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.

 

Interlocutory Orders

 

No. 13-0408/MC. U.S. v. Don W. Bailey, Jr. CCA 201200370.  On consideration of Appellant's motion to supplement the record and motion to disqualify Colonel Mark Jamison, Director, Code 46, as counsel and to appoint a special master to develop relevant facts, it is ordered that said motions are hereby denied.

 

No. 15-0235/AF. U.S. v. Marcus K. Linn. CCA 38451.  Appellant's motion to supplement the record is denied.

Interlocutory Orders

 

No. 15-0289/AF. U.S., Appellant v. Roy A. Bowser, Appellee.  CCA 2014-08.  On consideration of the certificate for review and Appellant's brief in support of the certified issues, dated January 5, 2015, under C.A.A.F. R. 15(a), and MODEL RULES OF PROF'L CONDUCT R. 3.3(a)(2) adopted therein, we find they fail to address United States v. Vargas, 74 M.J. 1 (C.A.A.F. 2014), and United States v. Browers, 20 M.J. 356 (C.M.A. 1985) as possible controlling or adverse authority.  Appellate courts can and should require re-briefing to address deficiencies.  See Passmore v. Estell, 607 F.2d 662, 664 (5th Cir. 1979), cert. denied, 446 U.S. 937 (1980).  Accordingly, it is ordered that, within 10 days of the date of this Order, Appellant will file an amended brief addressing the deficiency noted.  No extensions of time will be granted.

 

Appellee's brief, currently due on January 26, 2015, will instead be filed within 10 days of the filing of Appellant's amended brief.  Any reply brief by Appellant will be filed within 5 days of the filing of Appellee's brief.

Petitions for Grant of Review - Summary Dispositions

 

No. 15-0202/AR. U.S. v. Alvin C. Endsley. CCA 20130052.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, and in light of United States v. Lubasky, 68 M.J. 260 (C.A.A.F. 2010), we note that the proper victims in the Specification of the Charge were the merchants who provided the goods upon false pretenses, not the debit cardholder/Soldier. However, the charge sheet, stipulation of fact, and the providence inquiry focused on the Soldier as the victim, and there was no discussion on the record of whether the merchants were victimized. See Lubasky, 68 M.J. at 263. Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE ABUSED HIS DISCRETION BY ACCEPTING APPELLANT'S PLEA OF GUILTY TO LARCENY OF THE PROPERTY OF SPECIALIST DT WHEN THE ALLEGED LARCENIES INVOLVED THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF SPECIALIST DT'S DEBIT CARD NUMBER TO OBTAIN THE RETAIL GOODS OF A MERCHANT BY FALSE PRETENSE.

 

The decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed as to the Charge and its Specification and the sentence. The findings of guilty as to the Charge and its Specification are set aside. The remaining findings are affirmed. The record is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for remand to the Court of Criminal Appeals. That court may either dismiss the Charge and its specification and reassess the sentence based on the affirmed findings, or it may order a rehearing on the affected charge and specification and the sentence.

 

Interlocutory Orders

 

No. 14-0685/AF. U.S. v. Wilber J. McIntosh, Jr. CCA 37977.  On consideration of Appellant's motion to attach documents, and noting that said documents are already included in the record, it is ordered that said motion is hereby denied as moot.
