Docket No. 6601-15 April 4, 2016 



This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of 10 USC 1552 . Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board for Correction of Naval Records procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Secre tary of the Army, 335 F. Supp . 2d 48 (D.D. C. 2004). You previously petitioned the Board and wer·e denied relief on 5 May 1988 
Your current application was reviewed for new and material evidence not pr eviously considered by the Board. The. Board previously denied your request for a disability discharge because you were unable to show that your pes planus condition was unfitting f or continued naval service. As part of your new appl·ication you submitted service record documents previously considered by the Board and a personal statement that was not material to the issue in your case. Since no new and material evidence was found, your request for reconsideration is denied and your case is hereby administratively closed. 
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decisi on upon submission of new evidence within one year from the date of the Board's decision. New evidence is evidence not previously considered by the Board prior to making its decision in this case. In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity attaches to all official records . 
· Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable ma terial error or i njustice.
