UNITED STATES, Appellee v MATHEW G. MARGETTA, Airman Second Class, U. S. Air Force, Appellant
    7 USCMA 692, 23 CMR 156
    No. 9490
    Decided April 5, 1957
    
      Lieutenant Colonel Stanley S. Butt and Captain Norman J. Nelson were on the brief for Appellant, Accused.
    
      Lieutenant Colonel Francis P. Murray and Captain Lawrence J. Gross were on the brief for Appellee, United States.
   Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

A board of review affirmed two of the three specifications, alleging violations of Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 934, of which a special court-martial convicted the accused. The material allegations in these specifications are the same as those which, in United States v Lightfoot, 7 USCMA 686, 23 CMR 150, we held were legally insufficient. Accordingly, the decision of the board of review is reversed. The findings of guilty are set aside, and the Charges are ordered dismissed.
