United States v. Delgadillo, NMCCA No. 202300237 Opinion of the Court _________________________ This opinion does not serve as binding precedent under NMCCA Rule of Appellate Procedure 30.2(a).

_________________________ PER CURIAM: After careful consideration of the record, submitted without assignment of error, and Appellant having not challenged the factual sufficiency of this case, we have determined that the findings are correct in law, the sentence is correct in law and fact, and that no error materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substan- tial rights occurred. 2 However, we note that the Entry of Judgment does not reflect the correct type of special court-martial. 3 Although we find no prejudice, Appellant is en- titled to have court-martial records that correctly reflect the content of his pro- ceeding. 4 In accordance with Rule for Courts-Martial 1111(c)(2), we modify the Entry of Judgment and direct that it be included in the record.

The findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.
