DOCKET NO. 15-23 086A
DATE:	December 12, 2018
ORDER
Entitlement to service connection for spinal stenosis is denied.
FINDING OF FACT
The Veteran submitted a letter of September 2018 withdrawing his claim for service connection for spinal stenosis.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawing an appeal in writing have been satisfied.  38 U.S.C. § 7105 (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran had active service in the Air Force from April 1968 to May 1970, from January 1991 to January 1992, from August 1996 to November 1996, and from October 2003 to November 2003.
1. Entitlement to service connection for spinal stenosis
Under 38 U.S.C. § 7105, the Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed.  Except for appeals withdrawn on the record at a hearing, appeal withdrawals must be in writing.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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 a letter dated September 2018, the Veteran requested to withdraw his appeal seeking entitlement to service connection for spinal stenosis.  Thus, there remains no allegation of error of fact or law for appellate consideration with respect to this issue.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal on this matter, and it is dismissed.
