DOCKET NO. 16-55 060
DATE:	November 15, 2018
ORDER
Entitlement to service connection for narcolepsy is dismissed. 
FINDING OF FACT
In October 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in this matter, the Board received notification from the Veteran that she was withdrawing her appeal for entitlement to service connection for narcolepsy; there are no questions of fact or law in the matter remaining for the Board to consider. 
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdraw of the Veteran’s claim for entitlement to service connection for narcolepsy have not been met; the Board has no further jurisdiction in the matter.  38 U.S.C. §§ 7104, 7105 (2012); 38 C.F.R. §§ 20.202, 20.204 (2017).

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran had active military service in the U.S. Navy from October 2010 to May 2011. 
1. Entitlement to service connection for narcolepsy
The appellant may withdraw an appeal at any time prior to the promulgation of a Board decision on the matter.  The withdrawal of an appeal must be either in writing or on the record at a hearing.  Withdrawal can be by the appellant or by his/her representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  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; 38 C.F.R. § 20.202. 
In the instant matter, the Veteran seeks to withdraw her claim for entitlement to service connection for narcolepsy as evidenced by the October 2018 statement, submitted through her representative.  Accordingly, as the Veteran has withdrawn her appeal, in writing, there is no allegation of error or fact or law remaining before the Board.  Thus, the Board has no jurisdiction to consider an appeal in this matter, and the appeal is dismissed.
