The approved findings and sentence are correct in law and fact, and no er- ror materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights occurred. * Articles 59(a) and 66(c), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. §§ 859(a), 866(c). Accordingly, the approved findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.

FOR THE COURT

CAROL K. JOYCE Clerk of the Court

* The staff judge advocate’s recommendation to the convening authority erroneously stated the maximum imposable punishment included, inter alia, forfeiture of two- thirds of Appellant’s pay per month for 12 months and a fine. See Rules for Courts- Martial 201(f)(2)(B)(i), 1003(b)(3); United States v. Books, No. ACM S32369, 2017 CCA LEXIS 226, at *7 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 31 Mar. 2017) (unpub. op.). Appellant has not asserted and we do not find any colorable showing of possible prejudice from the error under the facts of this case. See United States v. Kho, 54 M.J. 63, 65 (C.A.A.F. 2000).
