context: Plaintiff asserts that his administrative discharge resulted in the stigmatization of his name because of the Other Than Honorable status, thereby invoking a liberty interest for which he was denied. The court recognizes Mr. Weaver was stigmatized by the Other Than Honorable administrative discharge for reasons of sexual misconduct and, therefore, was entitled to due process.
