FOR THE COURT

CAROL K. JOYCE Clerk of the Court

1 In an earlier opinion, we remanded Appellant’s case due to an error related to the convening authority’s action. See United States v. Anderson, No. ACM S32671, 2021 CCA LEXIS 134 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 30 Mar. 2021) (unpub. op.). That error has been corrected by virtue of the convening authority taking new action on the case.

2 The entry of judgment contains several errors. The summary of Specification 3 of Charge I incorrectly lists the relevant offense dates as 15 and 22 April 2020, when the dates on the charge sheet are 6 and 10 March 2020. The sentence for this offense is incorrectly listed as 15 days; it should be 90 days. The sentence for the Specification of Charge II is listed as 90 days, but it should be 15 days. The summary of the Specifica- tion of the Additional Charge incorrectly lists 6 and 10 March 2020 as the relevant offense dates, while the charge sheet reflects 15 and 22 April 2020. We direct a military judge, detailed through the Chief Trial Judge, Air Force Trial Judiciary, cor- rect the entry of judgment accordingly and prior to completion of the final order under Rule for Courts-Martial 1209(b).
