UPON FURTHER REVIEW

This opinion is subject to editorial correction before final release.

PER CURIAM:

This case is before our Court for further review because the original action and court-martial order (CMO) were erroneous. United States v. Watts, ACM S32146 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 17 June 2014) (unpub. op.). This Court returned the case to The Judge Advocate General for remand to the convening authority to withdraw the action and substitute a corrected action and CMO. On 26 June 2014, the convening authority withdrew the erroneous action in accordance with our decision and issued a corrected action. A corrected CMO followed. The approved findings and sentence are correct in law and fact, and no error materially prejudicial to the substantial rights of the appellant occurred. Articles 59(a) and 66(c), UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. §§ 859(a), 866(c). Accordingly, the findings and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
