                   FOR THE COURT

                   CAROL K. JOYCE
                   Clerk of the Court

Results (STR) and inserted it into the record of trial in accordance with Rule for Courts-
Martial (R.C.M.) 1101(a). The rule lists a number of required contents, including inter
alia “the command by which [the court-martial] was convened.” R.C.M. 1101(a)(3). The
STR in this case included most of the required contents, and it indicated the squadron
and major command to which Appellant was assigned, but it omitted the command
which convened the court-martial. United States v. Moody-Neukom, No. ACM S32594,
2019 CCA LEXIS 521, at *2–3 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 16 Dec. 2019) (unpub. op.).
However, we find no colorable showing of possible prejudice from this minor omission,
see United States v. Scalo, 60 M.J. 435, 436–37 (C.A.A.F. 2005) (citing United States v.
Kho, 54 M.J. 63, 65 (C.A.A.F. 2000)), and we do not find it necessary to direct corrective
action pursuant to R.C.M. 1112(d)(2).
