PER CURIAM:
The approved findings and sentence are correct in law and fact, and no er-
ror materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights occurred. Articles
United States v. Dize, No. ACM S32425
59(a) and 66(c), Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. §§ 859(a),
866(c). Accordingly, the approved findings and sentence are AFFIRMED. *
FOR THE COURT
KURT J. BRUBAKER
Clerk of the Court
* Although Appellant raises no specific assignments of error, he notes the record of trial
was docketed with this court 35 days after the convening authority took action, exceed-
ing the 30-day threshold for a presumptively unreasonable post-trial delay. United
States v. Moreno, 63 M.J. 129, 142 (C.A.A.F. 2006). However, he avers he suffered no
prejudice from the delay, and we agree. Accordingly, having considered the relevant
factors identified in Moreno, 63 M.J. at 135, and finding no adverse impact on the pub-
lic’s perception of the fairness or integrity of the military justice system, we find no
violation of Appellant’s due process rights. See United States v. Toohey, 63 M.J. 353,
362 (C.A.A.F. 2006). We have also considered whether relief for post-trial delay in the
absence of a due process violation pursuant to our authority under Article 66(c), UCMJ,
is appropriate, and find it is not. See United States v. Tardif, 57 M.J. 219, 225 (C.A.A.F.
2002); United States v. Gay, 74 M.J. 736, 744 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 2015), aff’d, 75 M.J.
264 (C.A.A.F. 2016).
