No. 12-014

Thursday, September 22, 2011

 

APPEALS – SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 10-0659/AF.  U.S. v. Garland R. STEWART.  CCA S31685.  On further consideration of the granted issue (69 M.J. 403 (C.A.A.F. 2010)), it is ordered that the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force for remand to that court for consideration of the granted issue in light of United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296 (C.A.A.F. 2011), United States v. Blazier, 69 M.J. 218 (C.A.A.F. 2010), and United States v. Blazier, 68 M.J. 439 (C.A.A.F. 2010), and to determine whether the erroneous admission of the cover memorandum and specimen custody document of the drug testing report was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.1


1  Nothing in this order is intended to limit the scope of the Court of Criminal Appeals' review on remand, including, but not limited to, consideration of the issue raised in Judge Stucky's separate opinion.

 

STUCKY, Judge (concurring in the result):

 

I affirm my dissenting vote in United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296, 306-13 (C.A.A.F. 2011) (Baker, J., joined by Stucky, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).  The drug testing report at issue in this case was the third report.  It was created pursuant to a follow-up urinalysis test after the accused had previously tested positive.  It is not entirely clear whether this fact would change the primary purpose of the third test or the statements made pursuant thereto.  Given this difference, and because this Court is not otherwise considering its significance, I agree that setting aside the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals' decision and remanding the case is the most appropriate action.

 

BAKER, Judge (dissenting):

 

I would affirm based on the analysis of the Court of Criminal Appeals in this case and based on my separate opinion in United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296, 306-13 (C.A.A.F. 2011) (Baker, J., joined by Stucky, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).

 

No. 10-6002/AF.  U.S. v. Matthew D. SKREDE.  CCA 2009-09.  On further consideration of the granted issues (69 M.J. 176-77 (C.A.A.F. 2010)), it is ordered that the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force for further proceedings consistent with this Court's decisions in United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296 (C.A.A.F. 2011), United States v. Blazier, 69 M.J. 218 (C.A.A.F. 2010), and United States v. Blazier, 68 M.J. 439 (C.A.A.F. 2010).1

STUCKY, Judge (concurring in the result):

 

I affirm my dissenting vote in United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296, 306-13 (C.A.A.F. 2011), (Baker, J., joined by Stucky, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).  I write separately given a notable factual difference from Sweeney.  Although the accused's first test was conducted pursuant to a random urinalysis test, the second test was conducted because the accused's first test was positive.  It is not entirely clear whether this fact would change the primary purpose of the second test or the statements made pursuant thereto.  Given this difference, and because this Court is not otherwise considering its significance, I agree that setting aside the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals' decision and returning the record to the Judge Advocate General is the most appropriate option.

 

BAKER, Judge (dissenting):

 

I would affirm based on the analysis of the Court of Criminal Appeals in this case and based on my separate opinion in United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296, 306-13 (C.A.A.F. 2011) (Baker, J., joined by Stucky, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).

 

No. 11-0045/AF.  U.S. v. William E.V. DUNN.  CCA S31584.  On further consideration of the granted issue (69 M.J. 457-58 (C.A.A.F. 2010)), it is ordered that the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force for remand to that court for consideration of the granted issue in light of United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296 (C.A.A.F. 2011), United States v. Blazier, 69 M.J. 218 (C.A.A.F. 2010), and United States v.

I affirm my dissenting vote in United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296, 306-13 (Baker, J., joined by Stucky, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).  I write separately given a notable factual difference from Sweeney.  The accused was subjected to a urinalysis test because of his erratic behavior and because he was an informant.  It is not entirely clear whether these facts would change the primary purpose of the test or the statements made pursuant thereto.  Given this difference, and because this Court is not otherwise considering its significance, I agree that setting aside the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals' decision and remanding is the most appropriate option.

 

BAKER, Judge (dissenting):

 

I would affirm based on the analysis of the Court of Criminal Appeals in this case and based on my separate opinion in United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296, 306-13 (C.A.A.F. 2011)(Baker, J., joined by Stucky, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 10-0319/MC.  U.S. v. Nathan M. ROBINSON. CCA 200800827.  On further consideration of the granted issue, 69 M.J. 168 (C.A.A.F. 2010), it is ordered that the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for remand to that court for consideration of the granted issue in light of United States v.

No. 11-0497/MC.  U.S. v. Desmond J. HORTON.  CCA 201000481.  Upon further consideration of the granted issues, 70 M.J. 223 (C.A.A.F. 2011), it is ordered that the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside.  The record is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for remand to that court for consideration of the granted issues in light of United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296 (C.A.A.F. 2011), United States v. Blazier, 69 M.J. 218 (C.A.A.F. 2010), and United States v. Blazier, 68 M.J. 439 (C.A.A.F. 2010) and to determine whether error occurred in the admission of the drug testing report, and, if so, whether the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.1

 

1  Nothing in this order is intended to limit the scope of the Court of Criminal Appeals' review on remand, including, but not limited to, consideration of the issue raised in Judge Stucky's separate opinion.

 

BAKER, Judge (dissenting):

 

I would affirm based on the analysis of the Court of Criminal Appeals in this case and based on my separate opinion in United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296, 306-13 (C.A.A.F. 2011)(Baker, J., joined by Stucky, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).

 

STUCKY, Judge (dissenting):

 

Appellant went to trial more than a year after the Supreme Court decided Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, 129 S. Ct. 2527 (2009), and more than two months after this Court decided United States v. Blazier, 68 M.J. 439 (C.A.A.F. 2010) (Blazier I). When the Government moved to introduce the drug testing laboratory report, the military judge asked Appellant's counsel if he objected to its admission or any part thereof.  Counsel said that he had no objection.  The military judge reiterated his question but received the same response from Appellant's counsel. Under these circumstances, I conclude that Appellant waived -–intentionally relinquished his right to contest on appeal -- his right to confront the laboratory technicians who performed the tests on his urine specimen.  I would affirm the judgment of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals. Therefore, I respectfully dissent.

 

No. 11-0563/MC.  U.S. v. Anthony J. SANDERS.  CCA 201000522.  On further consideration of the granted issue, __ M.J. __, (Daily Journal September 15, 2011), it is ordered that the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is set aside.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for remand to that court for consideration of the granted issue in light of United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296 (C.A.A.F. 2011), United States v. Blazier, 69 M.J. 218 (C.A.A.F. 2010), and United States v. Blazier, 68 M.J. 439 (C.A.A.F. 2010), and to determine whether the erroneous admission of testimonial hearsay in the drug testing report was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

BAKER, Judge (dissenting):

 

I would affirm based on the analysis of the Court of Criminal Appeals in this case and based on my separate opinion in United States v. Sweeney, 70 M.J. 296, 306-13 (C.A.A.F. 2011)(Baker, J., joined by Stucky, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS


No. 11-0619/AR.  U.S. v. Steven E. SPENCER.  CCA 20060040.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted, and, that the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.*

 

*  It is noted that in summarizing the findings, the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals in its decision dated June 17, 2011, omitted mentioning the conviction under Charge I, Specification 2 (Redesignated Specification 1) for wrongful introduction of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) onto a military installation with the intent to distribute.  Because it had referenced this offense in both of its previous decisions in this case, we view this solely as a clerical error.  Furthermore, we direct that the court-martial promulgating order dated April 21, 2010, be corrected to reflect that Charge I, Specification 2 (Redesignated Specification 1) states that same offense.
