​No. 23-0202/AR. Robert M. Lundsten, Petitioner v. United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, Respondent and United States, Real Party in Interest. CCA 20220226. Upon consideration of the petition for extraordinary relief in the nature of a writ of mandamus, it is noted that Petitioner filed a motion in the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals (ACCA), seeking permission under Rule for Courts-Martial (R.C.M.) 1113 to examine certain sealed materials in the record. The ACCA granted the motion in part but also denied it in part because the motion did not comply with A.C.C.A. R. 6.9. Petitioner now contends that the ACCA should have granted his motion in its entirety. He asks this Court to issue a writ of mandamus directing the judges of the ACCA to permit him to examine the sealed materials at issue. It is ordered that the petition for extraordinary relief is denied. The denial of the petition is without prejudice to Petitioner's filing a motion in the ACCA that complies with A.C.C.A. R. 6.9 or challenges the validity of A.C.C.A. R. 6.9. The denial of the petition is also without prejudice to Petitioner's right to raise the matters asserted during the course of normal appellate review.
