Opinion of the Court

This opinion does not serve as binding precedent under
NMCCA Rule of Appellate Procedure 30.2(a).

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. 2
However, we note that the Entry of Judgment does not accurately reflect
the disposition of the charges. Although we find no prejudice, Appellant is
entitled to have court-martial records that correctly reflect the content of his
proceeding. 3 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.
