                         _________________________

   Before H UTCHISON , S AYEGH , and S TEPHENS , Appellate Military
                                Judges
                       _________________________

   After careful consideration of the record, submitted without assignment of
error, we affirm the findings and sentence as approved by the convening
authority. Art. 66(c), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 866(c).
The supplemental court-martial order will reflect that the government
withdrew the language of the greater offense of rape and dismissed it without
prejudice, to ripen into prejudice upon completion of appellate review; thus
the appellant was not found Not Guilty of the greater offense. Record at 351.
