BOARD FuR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 

Docket No: 2060-16 

DEC 12 2016 

Dear : 

This is in reference to your latest reconsideration request dated 7 March 2016. You previously 
petitioned the Board and were advised in our letter of31 July 2015 that your application had 
been denied. Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board for Correction ofNaval 
Records procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Secretary ofthe Army, 335F.Supp.2d 48 (D.D.C 
2004). 

In regard to your request for a personal appearance, be advised that Board regulations state 
personal appearances before the Board are not granted as a right, but only when the Board 
determines that such an appearance will serve some useful purpose. In your case, the Board 
determined that a personal appearance was not necessary and considered your case based on the 
evidence ofthe record. 

Your current request has been carefully examined by a three-member panel ofthe Board for 
Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session on 28 July 2016. The names and votes 
of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request. Documentary material considered 
by the Board consisted ofyour application and any material submitted in support ofyour 
application. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board determined that the 
new statements you provided were insufficient to establish the existence of probable material 
error or injustice. The Board gave liberal consideration to your allegations, but found no 
evidence to support your claims in its review of your records. In addition, the Board concluded 
that these factors were not sufficient to warrant relief in your case, given the seriousness ofyour 
misconduct, which resulted in a court-martial conviction and bad conduct discharge (BCD). 
Accordingly, the Board concurs with the previous Board decision and your application has been 
denied. 

In this regard, the Board found that your contentions are insufficient to warrant further 
consideration in your case. In the absence of sufficiently material evidence for 
reconsideration, the decision ofthe Board is final, and your only recourse would be to initiate 
action, at no cost to the Board, to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
