Petition for Grant of Review - Summary
Disposition
No.
26-0187/NA. U.S. v. Jesus S. Santiago. CCA 202400399. 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 court below
affirmed a sentence that included "forfeiture of $1,008.60 pay per month for
six months," rather than a whole dollar amount of pay per month for six months.
See Rule for Courts Martial 1003(b)(2). Accordingly, it is ordered that said
petition is granted on the following specified issue:
Whether
the affirmed forfeiture of pay violated Rule for Courts Martial 1003(b)(2)
because it was not stated in a whole dollar amount.
The
decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is
affirmed as to findings and to only so much of the sentence as provides for
forfeiture of $1,008 pay per month for six months and reduction to the grade of
E-1.
