Judge STUCKY,
concurring in the result.
As Appellant failed to timely object to the testimony of SW and MS, the majority correctly reviewed its admission for plain error. Failure to establish any one of the three prongs of the plain error standard is fatal to such a claim. United States v. Bungert, 62 M.J. 346, 348 (C.A.A.F. 2006). As Appellant failed to establish prejudice—the third prong of the plain error standard—from the admission of the testimony at issue, I see no reason to examine the other two prongs— whether there was error that was clear or obvious. Therefore, I concur in affirming the judgment of the United States Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals.
