No. 17-0263/AR. U.S. v. Timothy B. Hennis. CCA 20100304. On consideration of Appellant's consolidated motion to compel funding for learned counsel, a mitigation specialist, and a fact investigator, for appointment of appellate team members, and for a stay of proceedings, we note that Dep't of the Army, Reg. 27-10, Legal Services, Military Justice para. 28-6(c) (May 11, 2016) provides under its "suggested capital litigation teams" that "[t]he defense team should consist of members whose duties are substantially dedicated to the capital case and shall include at least two experienced, qualified defense counsel, … and one paralegal (GS-9 or E-6)…." By the lead appellate defense counsel's own admission, he is neither experienced nor qualified as defined by the applicable regulation, and has significant other demands on his time. Accordingly, it is ordered that within 30 days from the date of this order, Appellee will show cause why it has not provided Appellant with defense assistance that comports with the qualifications suggested by paragraph 28-6(c) of AR Reg. 27-10. The Court will consider Appellee's response and the pending consolidated motion and will issue an order that addresses that motion and establishes a briefing schedule.

Petitions for Grant of Review - Summary Dispositions

 

No. 17-0162/NA. U.S. v. Keith E. Barry. CCA 201500064. On consideration of Appellant's petition for reconsideration of this Court's order of April 27, 2017, summarily affirming the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, Appellant's motions to appoint a special master, to supplement the record, and for oral argument, and Appellee's motion to remand for new post-trial processing, we note that Appellant has presented an affidavit from the convening authority averring that he felt pressure from senior civilian and military leaders to approve the findings in this case. In order to resolve this allegation of unlawful command influence, we conclude that further factfinding must be conducted pursuant to United States v. DuBay, 17 C.M.A. 147, 37 C.M.R. 411 (1967). Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition for reconsideration is granted, this Court's order of April 27, 2017, is vacated, and the petition for grant of review is granted on the following issue:

WHETHER SENIOR CIVILIAN AND MILITARY LEADERS EXERTED UNLAWFUL COMMAND INFLUENCE ON THE CONVENING AUTHORITY.

In addition, the motion to appoint a special master is denied, the motions to supplement the record are granted, the motion for oral argument is denied, and the motion to remand for new post-trial processing is denied. The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for remand to a convening authority other than the one who convened the court-martial concerned and one who is at a higher echelon of command. This convening authority shall order a factfinding hearing pursuant to DuBay. The presiding officer at this hearing shall be a military judge from an armed force other than the United States Navy or United States Marine Corps. See Rule for Court-Martial 503(b)(3).

 

This military judge shall inquire fully and make findings of fact and conclusions of law related to the alleged unlawful command influence matter underlying the granted issue. At the conclusion of the DuBay hearing, the military judge will return the record directly to this Court for further review of the granted issue under Article 67, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 867 (2012). The hearing shall be completed and the record returned to this Court no later than November 1, 2017.*

 

* It is noted that the military judge neglected to seal the transcript of the Military Rule of Evidence (MRE) 513 hearing and some of the associated pleadings, contrary to the requirements of MRE 513(e)(5). Accordingly, the Clerk is directed to seal the MRE 513 matters (pages 26-47 and 57-61 and AE V and VIII of the record of trial).
