DOCKET NO. 14-24 917
DATE:	October 11, 2018
ORDER
The appeal of service connection for a neck and back condition is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
On October 9, 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received written notification 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. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
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. § 7105.  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  Withdrawal may be made by the Veteran or by his authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal by way of a written statement submitted October 9, 2018, and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate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.
