SULLIVAN, Judge
(dissenting):
I agree with Judge Effron’s view of this case and join his separate opinion. In addition, I must note my further disagreement with the majority’s approach to this case.
The core issue is whether relevant medical records of the rape victim should have been furnished to the defense. In my view, the majority’s repetition of the detailed descriptions of the sex acts from the record is unnecessary and distracts the Court from deciding the issue before it. See United States v. Hensler, 44 MJ 184, 189 (1996) (Sullivan, J., dissenting in part and concurring in the result).
