ORDER
Service connection for intrinsic asthma, to include as due to an undiagnosed illness, is dismissed.
Service connection for sleep apnea, with symptoms of sleepiness, headaches, dry mouth and sore throat, to include as due to an undiagnosed illness, is dismissed.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. In June 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received written notice from the Veteran through his representative requesting a withdrawal of his appeal for service connection for asthma.
2. In June 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received written notice from the Veteran through his representative requesting a withdrawal of his appeal for service connection for sleep apnea.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran or his authorized representative have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Navy from May 1995 to October 2002, and from October 2005 to November 2006, with service In Iraq.
Service Connection
1. Service connection for intrinsic asthma, to include as due to an undiagnosed illness is dismissed
2. Service connection for sleep apnea, with symptoms of sleepiness, headaches, dry mouth and sore throat, to include as due to an undiagnosed illness is dismissed
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204. 
In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn both of the issues on appeal in a signed and dated June 2018 letter faxed to the Veteran’s representative, which includes the Veteran’s name, his file number, and a statement that the appeal is withdrawn.  Subsequently, the Veteran’s representative submitted the request for withdrawal.  Therefore, there remains no allegation of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.
