PER CURIAM:
    This case is before us for review a second time. During our initial review,
we set aside the Convening Authority Action [CA Action] and Entry of Judg-
ment [EOJ] and remanded for new post-trial processing. 2 Following completion
of the new CA Action and EOJ, the case has returned to the Court for comple-
tion of appellate review.
    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. 3
   The findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.

                                     FOR THE COURT:

                                     RODGER A. DREW, JR.
