               Appellant                      )        Panel 1

    On 17 May 2022, Appellant was tried by a special court-martial at Francis
E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming. In accordance with his pleas, and pursu-
ant to a plea agreement, a military judge found Appellant guilty of one specifi-
cation of failure to obey a lawful order, one specification of destruction of non-
military property, two specifications of domestic violence, and one specification
of disorderly conduct, in violation of Articles 92, 109, 128b, and 134, Uniform
Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. §§ 892, 909, 928b, 934.*
    On 5 May 2023, Appellant submitted his assignments of error brief in
which he argued the record of trial is incomplete in that it is missing all eight
attachments to Appellant’s stipulation of fact, which was admitted as a prose-
cution exhibit during his court-martial. Specifically, Appellant stated that the
following eight attachments were missing: (1) no contact order dated 10 Janu-
ary 2022; (2) CashApp payment screenshot; (3) CashApp payment screenshot;
(4) dormitory hallway video; (5) photographs of MacBook and iPad; (6) photo-
graphs of CW’s injuries; (7) photographs of CW’s dormitory room; and (8) cell-
phone video from 24 January 2022.
    On 30 May 2023, the Government submitted their answer to Appellant’s
brief, and concurred that the record of trial was missing all eight attachments
to Appellant’s stipulation of fact. Furthermore, the Government agreed that
remand of the record of trial for correction under Rule for Courts-Martial
(R.C.M.) 1112(d)(2) was appropriate.
    On 5 June 2023, we remanded this case to correct the record of trial to the
Chief Trial Judge, Air Force Trial Judiciary; specifically, to address the miss-
ing attachments to Appellant’s stipulation of fact. United States v. Gammage,

              United States v. Gammage, No. ACM S32731 (f rev)

No. ACM S32731, 2023 CCA LEXIS 240, at *2 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 5 Jun. 2023)
(order). On 23 June 2023, Appellant’s case was re-docketed with the court. On
18 August 2023, Appellate submitted another assignments of error brief and
raised, inter alia, that the record of trial is again incomplete in that it is still
missing four of ten photographs that were part of Attachment 6 to the stipula-
tion of fact. On 25 September 2023, the Government submitted their answer
to Appellant’s brief and agreed that four photographs are missing.
   Accordingly, it is by the court on this 29th day of September, 2023,
ORDERED:
    The record of trial in Appellant’s case is again returned to the Chief Trial
Judge, Air Force Trial Judiciary, for correction under R.C.M. 1112(d) to ac-
count for the four missing photographs to Attachment 6 of the stipulation of
fact, and any other portion of the record that is determined to be missing or
defective hereafter, after consultation with the parties. See Article 66(f)(3),
UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 866(f)(3); R.C.M. 1112(d)(2)–(3). Thereafter, the record of
trial will be returned to this court for completion of its appellate review under
Article 66(d), UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 866(d).
   The record of trial will be returned to the court not later than 13 October
2023 unless a military judge or this court grants an enlargement of time for
good cause shown. The Government will inform the court in writing not later
than 10 October 2023 of the status of the Government’s compliance with this
order, unless the record of trial has already been returned to the court by that
date.
