                   Clerk of the Court




* The 3 June 2019 entry of judgment in this case omitted the convening authority’s
denial of Appellant’s request to defer the adjudged reduction in grade required by Rule
for Courts-Martial (R.C.M.) 1111(b)(3)(A). However, the request and denial were
properly reflected in the convening authority’s 28 May 2019 decision on action, which
is attached to the entry of judgment. Therefore, we find no colorable showing of possible
prejudice from this minor omission, see United States v. Scalo, 

, 436–37
(C.A.A.F. 2005) (citing United States v. Kho, 

, 65 (C.A.A.F. 2000)), and cor-
rective action is not necessary. See R.C.M. 1111(c).
