 finement for 210 days, 1 and a bad-conduct discharge.

                             _________________________

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 Convening Authority’s Action does not accu-
rately reflect a summary of the sentence limitations of the plea agreement. The
summary states merely that confinement is limited to 90 days. However, the
plea agreement limited the sentence for Charge I to 90 days and, also, limited
the sentence for Charge II to 120 days, to run consecutively for a total of 210
days. Nevertheless, the Convening Authority’s Action did approve the sentence
as adjudged. Although we find no prejudice, Appellant is entitled to have court-
martial records that correctly reflect the content of his proceeding. 3 In accord-
ance with United States v. Crumpley, 4 we modify the Convening Authority’s
Action and direct that it be included in the record.
   The findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.

                                     FOR THE COURT:

                                     S. TAYLOR JOHNSTON
