This is one of a number of Army cases with issues in the post-trial processing. The AF and Navy are seeing similar issues.

Many years ago the famous Judge Fulton (later Clerk to ACCA) published a detailed monograph on how, step-by-step to get it right. Does TJAGSA have something similar in the works?

Why was he famous?

The army had the “post-trial handbook” which I always thought was fairly good. I do not know whether there is an updated version for the new system.

I wish we had the briefs for this case.

Ah. Here is a clue.

He is the person named in the "2011 WILLIAM S. FULTON, JR.
APPELLATE MILITARY JUDGES’ CONFERENCE."

I pick on TJAGSA to produce a guide because IMHO they produce the best materials for the practitioner (some of which I still refer to). Fulton's guide served me well as an SJA and appellate counsel. As an aside, many years ago I got in "trouble" for actively suggesting all the service JAGS be consolidate with TJAGSA. This was in the early days of BRAC and at the same time a certain senator from Alabama succeeded in having the AFJAGS located in Alabama. TJAGSA keep up the good work.

This may help.
