Opinion of the Court

2Per curiam

We granted review to determine whether the military judge erred to appellant’s prejudice by denying his challenge of a court member for cause. The issue is raised in the following context. Trial defense counsel asked the court members during voir dire if they were “predisposed as to what type of punishment should be imposed.” Receiving an affirmative response from two of the members, he challenged them for cause, without further inquiry into the matter. The challenge was denied and defense counsel exercised his peremptory challenge as to one of the two members.
