DOCKET NO. 16-15 616
DATE: January 12, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDINGS OF FACT

1. The Veteran had active service from December 1993 to December 2014.

2. On November 4, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran that the issues of a higher rating for left ear perforation of the tympanic membrane and a higher rating for athlete’s foot be withdrawn.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105 (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 19.55 (2020).

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  

In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
