A. As provided for in LCMJ Article 66, the First Circuit Court of Appeal shall have appellate jurisdiction over appeal of all LANG courts-martial, excluding summary courts-martial. Once an accused has been provided with notice of final action in a court-martial by the convening authority, he shall have sixty days in which to file a notice of appeal with the military judge and the convening authority. After an accused files a notice of appeal, the trial counsel who prosecuted the court-martial, shall lodge the record of trial, after certification by the military judge, with the Court. Consult LCMJ Article 66 for relevant brief filing deadlines.
B. Once the court acts on the case, the record is returned to the trial counsel, who notifies the state judge advocate and the convening authority of the court's decision. The convening authority will then take further action based on the court's decision. A supplemental promulgating order may be issued to supplement or amend the original court-martial promulgating order.
AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 29:11(F).
