DOCKET NO. 18-46 831
DATE: January 19, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On November 10, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran 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 (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 19.55 (2020).

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran had active service from January 1999 to May 2001.

This case comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from an April 2015 rating decision issued by a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).

In July 2019 and April 2020, the Board remanded the issues for further development.

Withdrawn issues

1. Entitlement to service connection for hypertension

2. Entitlement to service connection for a left knee disability

3. Entitlement to a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for osteomalacia of the right knee

4. Entitlement to a disability rating in excess of 20 percent for chronic sprain of the right knee

5. Entitlement to a disability rating in excess of 20 percent for multidirectional instability of the left shoulder

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55 (2020).  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55 (2020).  In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
