FOR THE COURT
CAROL K. JOYCE
Clerk of the Court
* We note two errors in the promulgating order. First, the Specification of Charge II
should list the mitragynine was possessed with an intent to use in a “manner” to alter
mood or function, vice in a “matter” to alter mood or function. Second, Specification 9
of Charge III should list alprazolam as a “Schedule” IV controlled substance vice a
“Scheduled” IV controlled substance. We direct the publication of a corrected court-
martial order to remedy the errors. Additionally, the personal data sheet (PDS) at-
tached to the staff judge advocate’s recommendation (SJAR) is dated 23 August 2017;
however, the PDS admitted at trial is dated 7 November 2017. While the PDS admitted
at trial reflects Appellant’s updated basic pay and [Air Force] Good Conduct Medal, we
find no colorable showing of possible prejudice due to the errors in the PDS attached
to the SJAR. See United States v. Scalo,
60 M.J. 435, 436–37 (C.A.A.F. 2005) (citation
omitted).
