CAAF released the opinion in US v. Brubaker-Escobar, which can be read here.
"We hold that in any court-martial where an accused is found guilty of at least one specification involving an offense that was committed before January 1, 2019, a convening authority errs if he fails to take one of the following post-trial actions: approve, disapprove, commute, or suspend the sentence of the court-martial in whole or in part. However, depending upon the date that the charges were preferred or referred and depending upon the sentence that was adjudged, such an error does not necessarily deprive a Court of Criminal Appeals of jurisdiction." Comments are closed.
