MEMORANDUM OPINION
RICHARD L. WILLIAMS, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff’s and defendants’ cross motions for summary judgment. At issue is a decision by the Board of Corrections of Navy Records [BCNR], which upheld plaintiff’s discharge from the United States Marine Corps under less than honorable conditions. No facts are in dispute. Based on the reasons stated below, the Court reverses the BCNR decision, vacates plaintiff’s discharge and nonjudicial punishment, and remands the case to the Marine Corps for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
