       Appeal from the United States Navy-Marine Corps Trial Judiciary

                                 Military Judge:
                                 Ryan Stormer

   Sentence adjudged 25 January 2021 by a special court-martial con-
   vened at Naval Base San Diego, California, consisting of a military
   judge sitting alone. Sentence in the Entry of Judgment: confinement
   for ten months and reduction to E-1. 1

rights occurred. Uniform Code of Military Justice arts. 59, 66, 10 U.S.C.
§§ 859, 866.
   The findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.
