    United States v. McWoodson, No. ACM 40188
    error materially prejudicial to Appellant’s substantial rights occurred.* Arti-
    cles 59(a) and 66(d), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 
    10 U.S.C. §§ 859
    (a),
    866(d) (Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (2019 ed.)). Accordingly, the
    findings and sentence are AFFIRMED.
    FOR THE COURT
    CAROL K. JOYCE
    Clerk of the Court
    * The convening authority did not approve Appellant’s entire sentence. Although Ap-
    pellant did not identify this error on appeal, we tested it for material prejudice and
    found none. See generally United States v. Brubaker-Escobar, 
    81 M.J. 471
     (C.A.A.F.
    2021) (per curiam).
