       Appeal from the United States Navy-Marine Corps Trial Judiciary

                                Military Judge:
                                John P. Norman

   Sentence adjudged 14 December 2021 by a general court-martial con-
   vened at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, consisting of
   a military judge sitting alone. Sentence in the Entry of Judgment: re-
   duction to E-1, confinement for 14 years and 6 months,1 and a dishon-
   orable discharge.

   1 The convening authority deferred and waived automatic forfeitures, which were
paid to the spouse of the accused, pursuant to a plea agreement. Also, based on the
recommendation of the military judge the convening authority deferred the reduction
to E-1 until the Entry of Judgment.
