Docket No: 9619-02 
23 July 2003 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your 
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10 of the United 
States Code section 1552. 

A three-member panel of m e  Board for Correction of Naval 
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your 
application on 22 July 2003.  Your allegations of error and 
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative 
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this 
Board.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of 
your application, together with all material submitted in support 
thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations 
and policies. 

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire 
record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was 
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material 
error or injustice. 

The record shows that you were convicted by a summary court- 
martial on 29 January 2002 of failure to obey an order or 
regulation, assault, and indecent assault.  The court sentenced 
you to reduction in rate from chief petty officer (MSC; E-7) to 
petty officer first class (MS1; E-6) and a forfeiture of $1,000. 

On 25 June 2003, after review in the Office of the Judge 

Advocate General of the Navy, your appeal of the court-martial 
conviction was reviewed and denied pursuant to Article 69b, 
Uniform Code of Military Justice. 

The Board is prevented by law from reviewing courts-martial and 
must limit its review to determining if the sentence should be 
reduced as a matter of clemency.  After weighing the seriousness 
of the offenses you committed against the punishment you 
received, the Board concluded that the sentence should not be 
reduced.  Accordingly, your application has been denied.  The 
names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished 
upon request. 

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 decision upon submission of new and material 
evidence or other matter not previously considered by the Board. 
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 material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

%- Executive Direc o
