PER CURIAM:
    Appellant’s case is before this court for the second time. In United States v.
Williams, No. ACM 39461, 2019 CCA LEXIS 442 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 31 Oct.
2019) (unpub. op.), we affirmed the findings and sentence. However, because
the action failed to include credit for two days of illegal pretrial confinement
ordered by the military judge, we returned the record to the Judge Advocate
General for remand to the convening authority to withdraw the incomplete ac-
tion, substitute a corrected action, and issue a corrected court-martial order.
              United States v. Williams, No. ACM 39461 (f rev)

    On 17 January 2020, the convening authority withdrew the action and sub-
stituted a corrected action in accordance with the court’s direction. Appellant
has not raised any additional issues for our consideration upon further review,
and we find the corrected action and court-martial order are complete.
    The approved findings and sentence were previously affirmed by this
Court, and no error materially prejudicial to the substantial rights of Appellant
occurred. Articles 59(a) and 66(c), UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. §§ 859(a), 866(c). Manual
for Courts-Martial, United States (2016 ed.).
