PER CURIAM:

Appellant was convicted consistent with his pleas, of one specification of wrongfully disposing of military property of a value more than $1000, in violation of Article 108, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). 1 Appellant asserts one assignment of error: Was Appellant provident to his pleas of guilty for disposing of military property without proper authorization when such property was not military property? 2 We have carefully considered the matters raised by Appellant in his brief and find they do not require discussion or relief. 3 We have determined that the findings and sentence are correct in law and fact and that no error materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights occurred. 4 The findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.
