United States v. Howard

U.S. Army Court of Military Review

1ConcurrenceWatkins, Judge

My position with respect to the principal issue under review is as set forth in United States v. Rembert, 5 M.J. 910 (A.C.M.R.1978), wherein I expressed the view that a properly completed Record of Punishment Under Article 15, U.C.M.J. (DA Form 2627) satisfies the requirements of United States v. Booker, 5 M.J. 238 (C.M.A.1977). Nothing that I have seen since that time, in United States v. Mathews,* or elsewhere, suggests to me that I should alter my stance concerning this matter. Accordingly, I vote to affirm the approved findings and sentence.

6 M.J. 357 (C.M.A.1979).
