PER CURIAM:
   After careful consideration of the record and briefs of counsel, 2 we have
determined that the findings and sentence are correct in law and fact and
that no error materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights occurred.
Uniform Code of Military Justice arts. 59, 66, 10 U.S.C. §§ 859, 866.
   The findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.

                                  FOR THE COURT:

                                  RODGER A. DREW, JR.
                                  Clerk of Court

   2 Appellant raised one assignment of error: that the Government failed to prepare
a proper record for appellate review, in that the record did not contain a complete
charge sheet. The Court subsequently granted the Government’s motion to attach the
charge sheet. As the record before the Court is complete, we find the issue moot. See
United States v. Clifton, 35 M.J. 79 (C.M.A. 1992).
