                           Decided: 30 April 2020

    Appeal from the United States Navy-Marine Corps Trial Judiciary

                              Military Judge:
                               Wilbur Lee

 Sentence adjudged 1 November 2019 by a special court-martial con-
 vened at Marine Corps Base Camp Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, consisting
 of a military judge sitting alone. Sentence approved by the convening
 authority: reduction to E-1, confinement for 90 days, forfeiture of
 $1,100 per month for three months, and a bad-conduct discharge.

                            For Appellant:
                Captain Kimberly D. Hinson, JAGC, USN

                               For Appellee:

                            Opinion of the Court

                         _________________________

PER CURIAM:
    After careful consideration of the record, submitted without assignment of
error, we have determined that the findings and sentence are correct in law
and fact and that no error materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial
rights occurred. Articles 59 and 66, Uniform Code of Military Justice, [UCMJ]
10 U.S.C. §§ 859, 866.
    However, we note that the Entry of Judgment does not accurately reflect
the forfeiture portion of the sentence that was adjudged. The Entry of
Judgment shows that the forfeiture portion of the sentence was for “$1,000
per month for months.” The missing figure between the words “for” and
“months” presumably should contain a number specifying the number of
months the forfeitures would run. However, the Statement of Trial Results
accurately reflects the sentence announced by the Military Judge on the
record, which was that the forfeiture portion of the sentence was for $1,100
per month for three months. The convening authority took no action to
modify the adjudged sentence. We find no other evidence of modification by
reason of any post-trial action by the convening authority or any ruling,
order, or other determination by the military judge. See Article 60c(a)(1)(B),
UCMJ. Hence, we conclude the discrepancy is a scrivener’s error and ultra
vires.
    Although we find no prejudice, Appellant is entitled to have court-martial
records that correctly reflect the content of his proceeding. United States v.
Crumpley, 49 M.J. 538, 539 (N-M. Ct. Crim. App. 1998). In accordance with
this Court’s authority under Rule for Courts-Martial 1111(c)(2), Manual for
Courts-Martial, United States (2019 ed.), we modify the Entry of Judgment
and direct that it be included in the record. The findings and sentence are
AFFIRMED.
