United States v. Workneh, No. ACM 38928 (f rev) PER CURIAM: This case is back before our court for further review because the original convening authority’s action contained errors. United States v. Workneh, ACM No. 38928, 2017 CCA LEXIS 219, at *10 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 24 Mar. 2017). On 4 May 2017, the convening authority withdrew the erroneous action in ac- cordance with our original decision and issued a corrected action. A corrected court-martial order was also executed. Having resolved that issue, the approved findings and sentence are correct in law and fact, and no error materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights occurred. Articles 59(a) and 66(c), Uniform Code of Military Jus- tice, 10 U.S.C. §§ 859(a), 866(c). Accordingly, the approved findings and sen- tence are AFFIRMED. FOR THE COURT KURT J.
