PER CURIAM:
   We have this case for further review after returning the record of trial to
The Judge Advocate General for remand to the convening authority for a new
              United States v. Gonzalez, No. ACM 39125 (f rev)


post-trial process and action due to ineffective assistance of counsel during the
post-trial phase. United States v. Gonzalez, 2018 CCA LEXIS 145, at *31–40,
44 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 
22 A.K. Marsh. 2018
).
    A new post-trial process and convening authority action have been accom-
plished with Appellant represented by conflict-free counsel. We find the ap-
proved findings and sentence to be correct in law and fact, and no error mate-
rially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights remains to be addressed. Ar-
ticles 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

                     Clerk of the Court
