Trussell, NMCCA No. 202500100 Opinion of the Court _________________________ This opinion does not serve as binding precedent but may be cited as persuasive authority under NMCCA Rule of Appellate Procedure 30.2. _______________________

PER CURIAM:

Appellant was convicted consistent with his pleas, of one specification of wrongfully disposing of military property of a value more than $1000, in viola- tion of Article 108, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). 1 Appellant asserts one assignment of error: Was Appellant provident to his pleas of guilty for disposing of military property without proper authorization when such property was not military property? 2 We have carefully considered the matters raised by Appellant in his brief and find they do not require dis- cussion or relief. 3

We have determined that the findings and sentence are correct in law and fact and that no error materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights occurred. 4

The findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.

FOR THE COURT:
