| TYSON L. MANKER, Plaintiff, v. THE UNITED STATES, Defendant |
No. 24-cv-0612
(Filed: September 30, 2025)
Manker, In 2016, started Pro Se, and won a class action for service members (Navy Marines only it seems in a certain years) to have their OTH reviewed for upgrade to honorable, for access to VA etc.
The case helped out thousands I believe
It seems Manker had to go through another BCNR to request his new Honorable turned into a Disability Discharge
What I am reading is the Board created a AO, and did a PEB, without ever actually going through a PEB, and created a fraudulent discharge PDHA with an actual Doctor that never examined him. Manker legal team now seeks to depose this Doctor about the PDHA.
If this is what happened, it does not shock me. I will see if anyone else chimes in here on this
---------------------------------------------
Mr. Manker maintains that the BCNR issued an Advisory Opinion (“AO”) with “a number of factual and legal errors,” including a statement that Mr. Manker received a PDHA exam. Id. ¶¶ 95, 99; see also Mot. at 6.
In the pending Motion, Mr. Manker seeks leave to conduct limited discovery “as necessary for effective judicial review.” Mot. at 1. Mr. Manker seeks to depose Mr. Raya and to serve seven requests for production of documents on the United States to “rebut any presumption of regularity that might attach to Mr. Manker’s [PDHA] questionnaire.” Id. at 9–10; Pl.’s First Set of Reqs. for Production of Docs. (“RFP”) at 5–7, ECF No. 12-3.
