                  FOR THE COURT

                  KATHLEEN M. POTTER
                  Acting Clerk of the Court

* Appellant pleaded not guilty to Charge II and its Specification. Pursuant to a pre-
trial agreement, Charge II and its Specification were withdrawn and dismissed with
prejudice by the military judge. However, the court-martial order (CMO) and report
of result of trial erroneously indicate that Appellant did not enter pleas to Charge II
and its Specification and that Charge II and its Specification were only dismissed.
We order a corrected CMO and report of result of trial to remedy these errors.
