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. Roberson, No. ACM 39166

Accordingly, the approved findings and sentence are AFFIRMED. 1
FOR THE COURT
KATHLEEN M. POTTER
Acting Clerk of the Court
1 Although Appellant raises no specific assignment of error, we note the record of trial
was docketed with this court 32 days after the convening authority took action, exceed-
ing the 30-day threshold for a presumptively unreasonable post-trial delay. United
States v. Moreno,
63 M.J. 129, 142 (C.A.A.F. 2006). However, we perceive no prejudice
to Appellant from the delay. Having considered the relevant factors identified in
Moreno, 63 M.J. at 135, and finding no adverse impact on the public’s perception of the
fairness or integrity of the military justice system, we find no violation of Appellant’s
due process rights. See United States v. Toohey,
63 M.J. 353, 362 (C.A.A.F. 2006). We
have also considered whether relief for post-trial delay in the absence of a due process
violation pursuant to our authority under Article 66(c), UCMJ, is appropriate, and find
it is not. See United States v. Tardif,
57 M.J. 219, 225 (C.A.A.F. 2002); United States
v. Gay,
74 M.J. 736, 744 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 2015), aff’d,
75 M.J. 264 (C.A.A.F. 2016).
