​"No. 20-0359/NA. U.S. v. Salvador Jacinto. CCA 201800325. On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, it is ordered that said petition is granted on the following issues:
 
I.  A MILITARY JUDGE MAY GRANT A CONTINUANCE FOR REASONABLE CAUSE AS OFTEN AS MAY APPEAR JUST. DID THE MILITARY JUDGE ABUSE HIS DISCRETION BY DENYING APPELLANT'S FIRST CONTINUANCE REQUEST AFTER THE GOVERNMENT DISCLOSED ONLY DAYS BEFORE TRIAL THE COMPLAINING WITNESS LIKELY SUFFERED FROM A PSYCHOTIC CONDITION?
 
II. THE FIFTH AND SIXTH AMENDMENTS GUARANTEE AN ACCUSED THE RIGHT TO A MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT A COMPLETE DEFENSE. DID THE MILITARY JUDGE ABUSE HIS DISCRETION BY DENYING THE DEFENSE MOTION FOR IN CAMERA REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINING WITNESS'S MENTAL HEALTH RECORDS?
