Decided September 11, 2000No. 99-0944/ARPublished

1DissentSullivan, Judge

I join Chief Judge Crawford’s dissenting opinion on Issues I and II. Issues III and IV, I would resolve against appellant on the basis of this Court’s decisions in United States v. Jette, 25 MJ 16 (CMA 1987), and United States v. Townsend, 49 MJ 175, 179 (1998). As for Issue V, I see no prejudice in this case. See United States v. Biagase, 50 MJ 143, 153 (1999) (Sullivan, J., concurring in the result). I would affirm.
