DOCKET NO. 18-26 431
DATE: February 17, 2021

ORDER

The appeal for a rating in excess of 20 percent for a service-connected lower back condition is dismissed. 

FINDING OF FACT

On November 3, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran notified the Board that he wanted to withdraw the appeal.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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  In the present case, the appellant has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
