CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal for entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105 (2012); 38 C.F.R. §§ 20.202, 20.204(b), (c) (2017).

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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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 March 2017 written correspondence from the Veteran and his representative, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran indicated that he wished to withdraw his appeal for the issue of entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea. 
As a result, with regards to the claim on appeal, there remains no allegation of error of fact or law for appellate consideration, and it is dismissed.
