REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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 appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  In the present case, on October 1, 2018, the appellant withdrew his appeals before the Board, in writing; hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  He also withdrew his request for a videoconference Board hearing.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeals and they are dismissed.
