                   OPINION OF THE COURT ON RECONSIDERATION
                   ---------------------------------------------------------------

Per Curiam:

      In light of our superior court’s decision in United States v. McDonald,
__M.J.__, 2019 CAAF LEXIS 271 (C.A.A.F. 17 Apr. 2019), this court sua sponte
reconsiders its 10 January 2019 decision in this case. 1

1
 We have also reconsidered appellant’s three assigned errors and the matters
appellant personally asserted pursuant to United States v. Grostefon, 12 M.J. 431
(C.M.A. 1982), and determine they do not warrant discussion or relief.
PEEBLES—ARMY 20170044

                                   CONCLUSION

       For the reasoning set forth by our superior court in McDonald, the 10 January
2019 published opinion of this court, United States v. Peebles, 78 M.J. 658 (Army
Ct. Crim. App. 2019), is hereby VACATED.

       Pursuant to our reconsideration of the entire record, we hold the findings of
guilty and the sentence as approved by the convening authority correct in law and
fact. Accordingly, those findings of guilty and the sentence are AFFIRMED.

                                           FOR THE COURT:

                                           JOSEPH
