DOCKET NO. 15-14 471
DATE:	November 21, 2018
ORDER
The appeal of the service connection claim for a sleep disorder is dismissed.
The appeal of the service connection claim for a lumbar spine disorder is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
In an October 2018 statement and before the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran notified the Board that he wished to withdraw his service connection claims for a sleep disorder and a lumbar spine disorder.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The criteria for withdrawal of the service connection claim for a sleep disorder have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
2. The criteria for withdrawal of the service connection claim for a lumbar spine disorder have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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 Veteran or by his authorized representative.  Id.  In the present case, in an October 2018 statement, the Veteran expressly withdrew his appeal with regard to the issues of entitlement to service connection for a sleep disorder and a lumbar spine disorder prior to promulgation of an appellate decision; hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration with respect to these specific matters.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal of these issues and they are therefore dismissed.
