                            _________________________

PER CURIAM:
    After careful consideration of the record, 1 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 substan-
tial rights occurred. Uniform Code of Military Justice arts. 59, 66, 10 U.S.C.
§§ 859, 866.
   The findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.

                                   FOR THE COURT:

                                   RODGER A. DREW, JR.
                                   Clerk of Court

   1 We note the Convening Authority’s Action indicates “No Action.” This does not
deprive this Court of jurisdiction, and did not, under the circumstances, prejudice
Appellant’s substantial right to clemency. See, United States v. Pearson, ___ M.J. ___,
No. 201900314, 2021 CCA LEXIS 130, at *15-19 (N-M. Ct. Crim. App. Mar. 29, 2021).
