Judge CRAWFORD delivered the opinion of the Court.
Pursuant to his pleas, appellant was convicted of attempted sodomy, committing indecent acts with a child (3 specifications), and soliciting indecent acts, in violation of Articles 80 and 134, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC §§ 880 and 934, respectively. The convening authority approved the sentence of a dishonorable discharge, 10 years’ confinement, and reduction to the lowest enlisted grade. The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the findings and sentence but directed administrative relief under United States v. Gorski, 47 MJ 370 (1997). We granted review of the following issue:
WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE ABUSED HIS DISCRETION IN REFUSING INDIVIDUAL VOIR DIRE OF CERTAIN COURT MEMBERS.
We hold that the judge did not abuse his discretion in refusing to permit individual voir dire of certain court members.
The decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.
