PER CURIAM:
   This case is before us after the United States Court of Appeals for the
Armed Forces (CAAF) reversed our previous decision and set aside the conven-
ing authority’s action. United States v. Mooney, 77 M.J. 252 (C.A.A.F. 2018).
The CAAF concluded that the action that ordered Appellant’s adjudged court-
martial sentence to run consecutively to his previously adjudicated federal sen-
tence was void ab initio. The CAAF returned the record of trial to The Judge
                 United States v. Mooney, No. ACM 38929 (rem)


Advocate General of the Air Force for a new action by the same or a different
convening authority. Id. at 257.
    On 19 October 2018, the convening authority took action and approved a
sentence of a dishonorable discharge, confinement for two years, forfeiture of
all pay and allowances, and reduction to the grade of E-1. The case was re-
turned to this court and submitted for our review on its merits without assign-
ment of error. We find the action correctly omits the language directing Appel-
lant’s military sentence to run consecutively with his previously imposed fed-
eral sentence.
    The approved findings and sentence are correct in law and fact, and no er-
ror materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights occurred. Articles
59(a) and 66, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. §§ 859(a), 866. Ac-
cordingly, the approved findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.*


                   FOR THE COURT

                   Clerk of the Court




* Although not raised by Appellant in the instant appeal, the addendum to the staff
judge advocate’s recommendation erroneously advised the convening authority that
“[t]he defense does not allege any legal error.” In fact, Appellant’s clemency request
asserted that he was entitled to relief because he was confined with foreign nationals
in violation of Article 12, UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 812. Consequently, the staff judge advo-
cate was obligated to state whether the convening authority should take corrective
action. See Rule for Courts-Martial 1106(d)(4). Under the facts of this case we conclude
the error did not result in any prejudice to Appellant and thus we decline to grant
relief. See United States v. Mooney, 76 M.J. 545, 551 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 2017) (denied
Appellant relief for alleged violation of Article 12, UCMJ).
