35.305 Return of record for reconsideration or revision.
(1)
(2)
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 consideration of the ruling and any further appropriate action.
Where there is an apparent error or omission in the record or where the record
shows improper or inconsistent action by a court-martial with respect to a finding or
sentence which can be rectified without material prejudice to the substantial rights
of the accused, the convening authority may return the record to the court for
appropriate action. In no case, however, may the record be returned for the
following:
(a) Reconsideration of a finding of not guilty of any specification, or a ruling
which amounts to a finding of not guilty;
(b) Reconsideration of a finding of not guilty of any charge, unless the record
shows a finding of guilty under a specification laid under that charge, which
sufficiently alleges a violation of some section of this code; or
(c) Increasing the severity of the sentence unless the sentence prescribed for the
offense is mandatory.
