INTRODUCTION

The Veteran had active military service from December 1959 to January 1986.  

The present matter comes to the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal of an October 2008 rating decision of the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in St. Petersburg, Florida.  


FINDING OF FACT

In December 2014, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, notification was received from the Veteran that a withdrawal of this appeal was requested.


CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran have been met.  38 U.S.C.A. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (West 2014); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2014).


REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed.  38 U.S.C.A. § 7105 (West 2014).  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2014).  Withdrawal may be made by the Veteran or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.


ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.
