Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 62. (1) If a specification before a court-martial has been dismissed on motion and the ruling does not amount to a finding of not guilty, the convening authority may return the record to the court for reconsideration of the ruling and any further appropriate action.

(2) If an apparent error or omission is in the record or if the record shows improper or inconsistent action by a court-martial with respect to a finding or sentence which cannot be rectified without material prejudice to the substantial rights of the accused, the convening authority shall return the record to the court for appropriate action. However, the record shall not be returned for any of the following reasons:

(a) Reconsideration of a finding of not guilty of a specification or ruling which amounts to a finding of not guilty.

(b) Reconsideration of a finding of not guilty of a charge, unless the record shows a finding of guilty under a specification laid under that charge which sufficiently alleges a violation of a section of this code.

(c) Increasing the severity of the sentence unless the sentence prescribed for the offense is mandatory and the mandatory sentence is more severe than the sentence imposed by the court.
