FINDINGS OF FACT
In February 2018, the Veteran withdrew the pending appeal as to the issues of entitlement to service connection for a right leg disability, fibromyalgia, bilateral shoulder disability, PTSD, diabetes mellitus, depression, loss of sense of smell, and headaches.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal with respect to the claims of entitlement to service connection for a right leg disability, fibromyalgia, bilateral shoulder disability, PTSD, diabetes mellitus, depression, loss of sense of smell, and headaches are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The Veteran served on active duty from April 1976 to June 1992.
This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from an August 2013 rating decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Atlanta, Georgia.
1. Entitlement to service connection for a right leg disability.
2. Entitlement to service connection for fibromyalgia.
3. Entitlement to service connection for a bilateral shoulder disability.
4. Entitlement to service connection for PTSD.
5. Entitlement to service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, claimed as due to herbicide exposure.
6. Entitlement to service connection for depression.
7. Entitlement to service connection for loss of sense of smell.
8. Entitlement to service connection for headaches.
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204(a).  Appeals may be withdrawn on the record at a hearing or in writing.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204(b)(1).
In February 2018, the Veteran submitted a statement in which he expressed his desire to withdraw the pending appeal of the issues of entitlement to service connection for a right leg disability, fibromyalgia, bilateral shoulder disability, PTSD, diabetes mellitus, depression, loss of sense of smell, and headaches.  The withdrawal was explicit, unambiguous, and clearly done with a full understanding of the consequences of such action.  DeLisio v. Shinseki, 25 Vet. App. 45, 57 (2011).  Hence, no allegations of errors of fact or law remain for appellate consideration with respect to said claims.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal as to these matters, and they must be dismissed.
