Opinions

Opinion of the Court

DARDEN, Judge:

In United States v Williams, 20 USCMA 47, 42 CMR 239 (1970), we held that failure of the military judge to inquire of the appellant personally if he had anything to say in his own behalf before sentencing did not make the later sentence illegal. That same issue in this case is controlled by our opinion in United States v Williams, supra. The decision of the Court of Military Review is therefore affirmed.

Chief Judge Quinn concurs.
