United States v. Fernandez, No. 201900047


           Before HUTCHISON, LAWRENCE, and ATTANASIO,
                      Appellate Military Judges.

PER CURIAM:
    After careful consideration of the record, submitted without assignment of
error, we have determined that the approved 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, UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. §§ 859, 866.
However, we note that the court-martial order (CMO) does not accurately
reflect that Specifications 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the Charge were withdrawn and
dismissed without prejudice prior to findings. The 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).
Accordingly, the supplemental CMO shall reflect that Specifications 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 5 under the Charge were withdrawn and dismissed without prejudice, to
ripen into prejudice upon completion of appellate review.
  The findings and sentence as approved by the convening authority are
AFFIRMED.


                                FOR THE COURT:




                                RODGER A. DREW, JR.
                                Clerk of Court
