OPINION OF THE COURT
Per CuRiam:
By amendment to the original convening order, the military judge who presided had been relieved. The court that tried this accused was, therefore, improperly constituted. United States v Johnson, 23 USCMA 104, 48 CMR 665 (1974); cf. United States v Harnish, 12 USCMA 443, 31 CMR 29 (1961). The decision of the U.S. Court of Military Review is reversed. The findings and sentence are set aside. A rehearing may be ordered.
