Docket No: 1876-16/9674-02 


Dear 

This is in reference to your reconsideration request received on 29 February 2016. Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board ofCorrection ofNaval Records procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Secretary of the Army, 335F.Supp.2d 48 (D.D.C. 2004). 
You previously petitioned the Board and were advised in our letter of 7 May 2003, that your application had been denied. 

Your current request has been carefully examined by a three-member panel of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session on 12 July 2016. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application and any material submitted in support of your application. 
After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board determined your statement that you did not have a high school diploma, and your recruiter lied to you and the Marine Corps is new evidence not previously considered by the Board, it was found not to be material, and is not enough to outweigh your misconduct committed while on active duty. 
Accordingly, your application for reconsideration has been denied. 

It is regrettable that the circumstances of your case are such that the Board will not process any additional reviews, and this matter is considered a final action. However, ifyou wish to continue to seek relief you will need to initiate action, at no cost to the Board, to a court ofappropriate jurisdiction. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
