"No. 20-0232/AR. U.S. v. Christopher B. Hukill. CCA 20140939. On consideration of Appellant's petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, we note that in affirming the sentence, the Court of Criminal Appeals stated that the approved sentence included confinement for four years when in fact the adjudged and approved sentence included confinement for two years. Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition is hereby granted, and the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to findings and to only so much of the sentence as provides for reduction to pay grade E-1, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, confinement for two years, and a bad-conduct discharge."
