DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 
Docket No: 4900-16/ 4958-15 

Dear

This is in reference to your latest reconsideration request dated 25 May 2016. You previously petitioned the Board and were advised in our letter dated 20 July 2015 that your application was disapproved. Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board for Correction of Naval Records procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Secretary o[Army, 335 F Supp. 2d 48 (D.D.C. 2004). 

Your current request has been carefully examined by a three-member panel of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session on 1 May 2017. 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. 

You presented as evidence your contention that you did not want to sign the Page 11 entry because the case was still pending and the charges were not true. You further contended that you were told that if the charges were dropped, the Page 11 entry would not get submitted, and that is why you signed it and elected not to submit a statement. Although your new evidence was not previously considered by the Board, the Board determined that your Commanding Officer exercised his discretionary authority to issue the Page 11 entry and that the entry is valid. The Board found the evidence was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

In the absence of sufficient material evidence for reconsideration, the decision of the 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
