Key: Appellate Court Rulings
❌ An appellate court set aside a finding or sentence because of this judge’s ruling.
⚠️ An appellate court found this judge’s ruling was wrong but gave no relief (harmless, no prejudice, waived or forfeited).
★ A service appeals court reversed this judge, and the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces upheld the judge, which still may indicate error.
No symbol: we have not found an appellate decision faulting this judge’s rulings. We keep digging and update these pages as decisions are found.
