DOCKET NO. 14-31 165A
DATE:	December 21, 2018
ORDER
The appeal is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
On November 22, 2017, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran’s authorized representative that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran through 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 FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran had active service from May 2007 to September 2007 and from July 2008 to July 2009. 
This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from a July 2012 rating decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) which denied service connection for a left ankle disability.  The Veteran perfected an appeal on this matter; however, on November 22, 2017, his authorized representative submitted a written request to withdraw the appeal.
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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  In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
