              United States v. Workneh, No. ACM 38928 (f rev)

PER CURIAM:
   This case is back before our court for further review because the original
convening authority’s action contained errors. United States v. Workneh, ACM
No. 38928, 2017 CCA LEXIS 219, at *10 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 24 Mar. 2017).
On 4 May 2017, the convening authority withdrew the erroneous action in ac-
cordance with our original decision and issued a corrected action. A corrected
court-martial order was also executed.
    Having resolved that issue, the approved findings and sentence are correct
in law and fact, and no error materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial
rights occurred. Articles 59(a) and 66(c), Uniform Code of Military Jus-
tice, 10 U.S.C. §§ 859(a), 866(c). Accordingly, the approved findings and sen-
tence are AFFIRMED.

                 FOR THE COURT
