Belliss, Consequences Of A Court-Martial Conviction For United States Service Members Who Are Not United States Citizens, 51 NAVAL L. REV. 53, 57 n.23 (2005) ("Whether the finding of guilty and imposition of punishment by a summary court-martial officer against an accused amounts to a conviction for immigration purposes is likely answered in the negative. See Middendorf v. Henry, 425 U.S. 25, 40-42 (1976). In Middendorf, the Supreme Court held that "a summary court-martial is procedurally quite different from a criminal trial" and thus is not a criminal prosecution within the meaning of the Sixth Amendment. Id. at 40. See 1 FRANCIS A. GILLIGAN & FREDERIC I. LEDERER, COURT-MARTIAL PROCEDURE 8-31.30 (2d ed.). See also United States v. Kelly, 45 M.J. 259 (1996).").
