PER CURIAM:
    The approved findings and sentence are correct in law and fact, and no er-
ror materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights occurred. Articles
                   United States v. Elmblad, No. ACM S32452


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



                   KURT J. BRUBAKER
                   Clerk of the Court




* Although Appellant raises no specific assignments of error, we note the staff judge
advocate’s recommendation (SJAR) erroneously advised the convening authority that
the maximum sentence that could be imposed by this special court-martial included,
inter alia, a fine in addition to forfeiture of two-thirds pay per month for 12 months.
See Rule for Courts-Martial (R.C.M.) 201(f)(2)(B)(i); R.C.M. 1003(b)(3); United States
v. Books, No. ACM S32369, 2017 CCA LEXIS 226, at *7 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 
31 A.K. Marsh. 2017
) (unpub. op.). However, under the facts of this case we find no colorable showing
of possible prejudice and, therefore, we affirm. See United States v. Scalo, 
60 M.J. 435
,
436–37 (C.A.A.F. 2005) (citations omitted).
