UNITED STATES, Appellee v HOWARD J. PALARDY, III, Fireman, U. S. Navy, Appellant
    No. 29,109
    February 14, 1975
    
      Captain T. O. Tottenham, USMCR, was on the pleadings for Appellant, Accused.
    
      Lieutenant Colonel P. N. Kress, USMC, and Lieutenant Commander Harvey E. Little, JAGC, USN, were on the pleadings for Appellee, United States.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam:

This case involves a problem which is substantially the same as that considered in United States v Carey, 23 USCMA 315, 49 CMR 605 (February 7, 1975). Appellant, by his plea, admitted from the outset his guilt and did not contest the post-trial showing that the court-martial was properly constituted. Because these same factors were persuasive in calling for the affirmance in United States v Carey, supra, we deem it appropriate to take like action here. Therefore, the decision of the Court of Military Review is affirmed.

Judge Quinn did not participate in the decision of this case.
