Opinion of the Court
_________________________
PER CURIAM:
After careful consideration of the record, submitted without assignment of
error, we have determined that the findings and sentence are correct in law
and fact and that no error materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial
rights occurred. Uniform Code of Military Justice arts. 59, 66, 10 U.S.C.
§§ 859, 866.
However, we note that the Entry of Judgment does not reflect the disposi-
tion of the original Charge and Specification. Although we find no prejudice,
Appellant is entitled to have court-martial records that correctly reflect the
content of his proceeding. United States v. Crumpley, 49 M.J. 538, 539 (N-M.
Ct. Crim. App. 1998). In accordance with Rule for Courts-Martial 1111(c)(2),
we modify the Entry of Judgment and direct that it be included in the record.
The findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.
