             Appellant                     )      Panel 1

    On 26 February 2024, Appellant submitted a Motion to Withdraw from Ap-
pellant Review. On the same day, Appellant submitted a separate Motion to
Attach; specifically, Appellant moved to attach a DD Form 2330, Waiver/With-
drawal of Appellate Rights in General and Special Courts-Martial Subject to
Review by a Court of Criminal Appeals, signed by Appellant and Appellant’s
counsel on 23 February 2024 and 26 February 2024, respectively.
    Pursuant to this court’s rules, the timeline for opposition to a motion to
withdraw from appellate review is two business days, and the timeline for op-
position to a motion to attach is seven calendar days. A.F. Ct. Crim. App. R.
23.2. It has been this court’s practice to accept the DD Form 2330 as an attach-
ment to the Appellant’s motion to withdraw from appellate review. Therefore,
the court accepts the motions together and grants Appellant’s motions prior to
completion of the seven-day opposition period normally required for a motion
to attach. No opposition to the Appellant’s Motion to Withdraw from Appellate
Review was filed.
   Accordingly, it is by the court on this 29th day of February, 2024,
ORDERED:
   Appellant’s Motion to Withdraw from Appellate Review and Motion to At-
tach are GRANTED.
                   United States v. Ellis, No. ACM 40430

    Appellant’s case is forwarded to the Appellate Records Branch (JAJM) for
further processing in accordance with Rules for Courts-Martial 1115(f)(3) and
1201, Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (2024 ed.).
