11 M.J. 228

UNITED STATES, Appellant, v. Charlie BREWER, Jr., Technical Sergeant, U. S. Air Force, Appellee.

No. 38,824.

ACM 22574.

U. S. Court of Military Appeals.

June 29, 1981.

For Appellant: Colonel James P. Porter, Major Robert T. Mounts (on brief).

For Appellee: Colonel Larry G. Stephens, Major Robert G. Gibson, Jr. (on brief).

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

The Judge Advocate General of the Air Force certified (9 M.J. 16) the two questions that follow:

I. WAS THE COURT OF MILITARY REVIEW CORRECT IN HOLDING THAT THE PRESUMPTION OF DENIAL OF SPEEDY DISPOSITION PRESCRIBED IN DUNLAP V. CONVENING AUTHORITY, 23 U.S.C.M.A. 135, 48 C.M.R. 751 (1974) APPLIED IN THIS CASE?
II. IF ISSUE I IS ANSWERED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE, WAS THE COURT OF MILITARY REVIEW CORRECT IN HOLDING THAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR' MORE THAN 90 DAYS BETWEEN THE DATE OF TRIAL AND THE DATE OF ACTION?

We answer the first question in the affirmative.1 The Court of Military Review (9 M.J. 509) correctly followed the dictates of Dunlap v. Convening Authority, 23 U.S.C. M.A. 135, 48 C.M.R. 751 (1974).

The rationale of United States v. Banks, 7 M.J. 92 (C.M.A.1979), became the standard for testing post-trial delay as to all cases tried on or after June 18, 1979.2

*229We answer the second question in the negative. We hold that the Government was diligent.3

The decision of the United States Air Force Court of Military Review is reversed. The record is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force for remand to the Court of Military Review for action in accord with this decision.
