DOCKET NO. 15-30 958
DATE:	November 23, 2018
ORDER
The appeal of the issue of entitlement to service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
In March 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran that a withdrawal of his appeal for service connection for PTSD is requested.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal of the claim for service connection for PTSD by the Veteran have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2018).
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran served on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps from March 2005 until March 2013.  This matter comes to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from a July 2013 rating decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Entitlement to service connection for PTSD
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 (2012).  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2018).  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  Here, in March 2018 correspondence, the Veteran requested to withdraw the appeal of the issue of entitlement to service connection for PTSD.  Hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  Thus, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal, and it is dismissed.
