R. Evid. 413 purposes. JurisdictionOn 19 February 2019, while Appellant’s civilian trial for the August 2018 alleged rape of HG was pending, Appellant reached the expiration of his then current enlistment. Appellant was also under investigation by the Air Force for the 2017 alleged assaults against SK. In a challenge for the first time on appeal Appellant essentially contends the Government’s extension of his enlistment beyond 19 February 2019 for the “possibility of a future court-martial” was a subterfuge in order to administratively discharge him with a UOTHC service characterization. [2] Appellant contends it was only after the state court acquitted him of the alleged rape of HG that the Government began preparing in earnest to prosecute him. Appellant further suggests certain of the legal office’s administrative hold requests were untimely or otherwise deficient in some respect.
