REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The Veteran served on active duty from August 1989 to January 1990; from December 1990 to March 1991; and from January 1992 to February 1993. 
This matter is before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from a June 2013 rating decision issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Houston, Texas.  A Notice of Disagreement was submitted in June 2013; a Statement of the Case was issued in February 2014; and a VA Form 9 was received in March 2014.  
Withdrawal of Issues
The Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege a specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed. See 38 U.S.C. § 7105.  An appellant or an authorized representative may withdraw any or all issues involved in an appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. See 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. 
In an August 2018 statement, the Veteran requested to withdraw the claims on appeal, i.e., entitlement to service connection for irritable bowel syndrome; entitlement to service connection for residuals of an eye injury; and entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea.  He also withdrew his request for a Board hearing in connection with these claims.

As such, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review these matters and they are dismissed.
