   Opinion of the Court

Darden, Judge:

Use of a sentence work sheet and voting procedure form by the law officer in this case in lieu .of oral instructions require reversal of the sentence. United States v Pryor, 19 USCMA 279, 41 CMR 279 (1970).

Accordingly, the decision of the Court of Military Review as to sentence is set aside and the record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army. A rehearing on the sentence may be ordered.

Chief Judge Quinn and Judge Ferguson concur.
