REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION The Veteran served on active duty from December 1967 to November 1970. The record reflects that a statement of the case was issued in March 2019 as to the issues listed on the title page of this action. Within 60 days of that statement of the case, the Veteran filed a VA Form 10182, electing to appeal his case directly to the Board under the Appeals Modernization Act as to the referenced issues. 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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 authorized representative. Id. In the present case, in an August 2019 statement, the Veteran expressly withdrew his appeal with regard to all claims currently pending at the Board; hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration with respect to these specific matters. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal of these issues and they are therefore dismissed. Thomas H. O'Shay Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board T. Berryman, Counsel The Board’s decision in this case is binding only with respect to the instant matter decided. This decision is not precedential, and does not establish VA policies or interpretations of general applicability. 38 C.F.R. § 20.1303.
