DOCKET NO. 15-12 902
DATE:	November 5, 2018
ORDER
The appeal regarding entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
In October 2018, prior to the issuance of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran withdrew his appellate claim of entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea.  
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran have been met regarding his appellate claim of entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Army from November 1996 to September 2002.  
This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from a July 2013 rating decision from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).  
An appeal may be withdrawn by an appellant or his or her authorized representative as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38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.  In an October 2018 written statement, the Veteran withdrew his appeal regarding the claim of entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review this appeal, and it is dismissed.
