THIS OPINION IS SUBJECT
TO EDITORIAL CORRECTION BEFORE PUBLICATION.

PER CURIAM:
We granted appellants petition to consider
whether he was denied effective assistance of counsel at his court-martial.
__ MJ __ (Daily Journal Feb. 4, 1999). We conclude that appellant has made
a colorable claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, see, e.g.,
United
States v. Wean, 45 M.J. 461, 464 (1997), which can only be resolved
by an evidentiary hearing. See United States v. Ginn, 47
M.J. 236 (1997).
The decision of the United States Army Court
of Criminal Appeals is set aside. The record of trial is returned to the
Judge Advocate General of the Army for further proceedings under United
States v. DuBay, 17 USCMA 147, 37 CMR 411 (1967). After such proceedings
are concluded, the record of trial, along with the military judges findings
of fact and conclusions of law, will be returned to the Court of Criminal
Appeals for further review under Article 66(c), Uniform Code of Military
Justice, 10 USC § 866(c). Thereafter, Article 67(a), UCMJ, 10 USC
§ 867(a)(1994), will apply.
