DOCKET NO. 16-05 752
DATE:	December 18, 2018
ORDER
The appeal of the issue of whether a timely substantive appeal was filed to perfect appeals of service connection for hearing loss, service connection for tinnitus, and entitlement to a compensable rating for temporomandibular joint syndrome, is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
On December 6, 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal of whether a timely substantive appeal was filed to perfect appeals of service connection for hearing loss, service connection for tinnitus, and entitlement to a compensable rating for temporomandibular joint syndrome, have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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  In the present case, the appellant, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
