DOCKET NO. 16-59 246
DATE: January 16, 2020

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On December 16, 2019, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran and her authorized representative that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran and her authorized representative have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  

On December 16, 2019, the Veteran submitted a letter to the Board requesting cancellation of her scheduled hearing.  The Veteran indicated there was no need for the hearing, as she was satisfied with her 100 percent rating and is “not seeking anything additional.”  On the same date, the Veteran’s authorized representative submitted a statement that the Veteran wishes to withdraw her pending appeal, as she is happy with her 100 percent rating.  Therefore, the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
