United States v. Seuam, No. ACM S32497

FOR THE COURT
CAROL K. JOYCE
Clerk of the Court
* Although Appellant raises no specific assignment of error, we note the staff judge
advocate recommendation erroneously advised the convening authority that the max-
imum 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) (citation omitted).
