Decision Date: 12/09/21	Archive Date: 12/09/21

DOCKET NO. 17-31 527
DATE: December 9, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

In November 2019, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant or his authorized representative have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205 (for AMA) § 19.55 (legacy).  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205 (for AMA) § 19.55 (legacy).  In the present case, the appellant, through his/her authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  The Board sent the Veteran a clarification letter in October 2021 regarding the withdrawal of his appeal.  The Veteran did not respond.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
