Opinions

Opinion of the Court

DARDEN, Judge:

In United States v Williams, 20 USCMA 47, 42 CMR 239 (1970), this Court determined that a court-martial sentence is not rendered illegal because of a military judge’s failure to inquire of the appellant personally if he had anything to say in his own behalf before sentencing. That same question is again raised. Because the reasoning in Williams is equally applicable here we affirm the decision of the Court of Military Review.

Chief Judge Quinn concurs.
