DOCKET NO. 15-42 017
DATE:	December 18, 2018
ORDER
The appeal for entitlement to service connection for lumbar spine degenerative joint disease (DJD) with spondylosis and spinal stenosis is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
In August 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal was requested.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran, through his authorized representative, on the issue of entitlement to service connection for lumbar spine DJD with spondylosis and spinal stenosis are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran had active service from May 1962 to May 1965.
In August 2018, the Veteran’s representative submitted a written statement in which he reported that the Veteran wanted to withdraw his current appeal, as he had determined that there was no potential for additional benefits and he was satisfied with the VA decisions on his behalf.
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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 Veteran or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal.  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.
