Lloyd, 46 MJ 19, 23 (1997) (“based on the very same conduct”).

Savage, 50 MJ 244, 245 (1999) (marijuana possession with intent to distribute and distribution of same marijuana on same day); United States v. Britton, 47 MJ 195, 198-99 (1997) (rape and assault “facially duplicative” where assault is “force used to commit the rape”). Some reconciliation of these cases is nee(je(j
