Decision Date: 12/30/21	Archive Date: 12/30/21

DOCKET NO. 19-19 907
DATE: December 30, 2021

ORDER

The appeal as to the request to reopen the previously denied claim of entitlement to service connection for bilateral knee disorder is dismissed.

The appeal as to the issue of entitlement to service connection for bilateral foot disorder is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On September 19, 2019, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran, through his authorized attorney, that a withdrawal of all of the issues on appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of a substantive appeal by the Veteran's authorized attorney are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran served on active duty from June 2001 to August 2001, from March 2003 to February 2004, and from July 2004 to September 2005.

This case is before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from an April 2017 Regional Office (RO) rating decision.  In that rating decision, the RO denied entitlement to service connection for bilateral foot disorder and the request to reopen entitlement to service connection for bilateral knee disorder.

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  In the present case, the Veteran, through his attorney, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration with regard to the issues of whether new and material evidence has been received to reopen the previously denied claim of service connection for a bilateral knee disorder; and, entitlement to service connection for a bilateral foot disorder.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
