INTRODUCTION

The Veteran had active service from June 1976 to July 1989.

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a September 2007 rating decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in St. Petersburg, Florida.   It was remanded by the Board in July 2014.

This appeal was processed as a paperless claim using Legacy Content Manager Documents (formerly Virtual VA) and the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS).


FINDING OF FACT

On December 31, 2014, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.


CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).


REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).  In the present case, because the Veteran has withdrawn the appeal, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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 will be dismissed.


ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.
