On appeal from the decision of the

THE ISSUE

Entitlement to service connection for Hepatitis C.


REPRESENTATION

Veteran represented by:	Disabled American Veterans


ATTORNEY FOR THE BOARD

B. J. Komins, Associate Counsel







INTRODUCTION

The Veteran had active service from March 1969 to January 1972 and from November 1973 to December 1974.

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from an October 2006 rating decision issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Phoenix, Arizona, that denied service connection for hepatitis C.  


FINDINGS OF FACT

On February 1, 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 is requested.


CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran (or his or her authorized representative) have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).


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 (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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).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 Veteran or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).  In the present case, the Veteran, through his/her authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.


ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.
