DECISION
Tried by special court-martial, the accused was convicted, despite his pleas, of possessing, transferring and using marijuana, and failing to obey a lawful order, in violation of Articles 134 and 92, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. §§ 934, 892. The approved sentence extends to a bad conduct discharge, confinement at hard labor for three months, forfeiture of $265.00 per month for three months and reduction to airman basic.
Appellate defense counsel assign eight errors and refer us to the error asserted by the trial defense counsel as part of the accused’s request for appellate representation. These assignments have been considered in the review of the staff judge advocate and properly resolved against the accused, or are otherwise without merit.
There is one matter which does merit our attention. In his rebuttal to the review of the staff judge advocate,1 the trial defense counsel states that the reviewer was in error in two places by asserting that the accused pleaded guilty to all charges and specifications when, in fact, he pleaded not guilty. Our examination of the review in the cited places disclosed no such language. Instead, the review correctly stated that the accused pleaded not guilty.2 However, the addendum of the staff judge advocate emphasized “that the accused pleaded not *661guilty to all charges and specifications and persisted in those pleas throughout the trial.”
Faced with this inconsistency, we procured a copy of the review as originally drafted,3 and found that the language alluded to by the defense counsel did appear therein.4 It appears that upon being advised of the error in the review, the staff judge advocate chose to correct the mistakes in the body of the review rather than in the addendum.
This leaves us in a curious situation: the accused is clearly not prejudiced by this practice since the convening authority was correctly advised prior to his action; but, we are left with the question whether the spirit, if not the letter, of the Goode, supra, mandate has been satisfied.
The purpose of the Goode procedure is to correct errors in the review at the earliest point by allowing the defense counsel to point out deficiencies to the reviewer prior to the review being presented to the reviewing authority. Implicit in this concept is the idea that the review that goes to the defense counsel should be identical to that upon which the reviewing authority takes his action with the addition of any corrective action taken by the staff judge advocate, which, logically, should appear in the addendum or some similar place. Otherwise, substantial changes could be made in the review after examination by the defense counsel which would not be subject to his scrutiny and comment. In such a situation it would be unfair to impose the Goode waiver on defense counsel’s failure to comment on some later-added error.
In the instant case, our examination of the entire record discloses that the accused was not prejudiced by the procedure followed.5 However, to avoid the recurrence of this situation, we direct that, in the future, any errors raised by the defense counsel in his Goode response will be corrected (if correction is deemed necessary) by the staff judge advocate by means of an addendum to the review.
The findings of guilty and the sentence are
AFFIRMED.
