United States v. BUENO, 202400102

Staff Sergeant Adrian E. Bueno, U.S. Marine Corps, was tried by special court-martial at MCAS Miramar, San Diego, in September 2022.
The case was adjudicated by a military judge sitting alone.
Bueno pleaded guilty to one specification of larceny of military property valued over $1,000 between November 30, 2017, and January 29, 2021.
Other charges and specifications (larceny, false official statement, and dereliction of duty) were withdrawn and dismissed, pending appellate review.
Bueno was sentenced to reduction to E-3, 30 days' confinement, and forfeiture of $1,600/month for six months.
On appeal, the entry of judgment was modified to correctly reflect the date ranges of offense, but the court found no prejudicial error affecting substantial rights.
