Citation Nr: 21009020 Decision Date: 02/18/21 Archive Date: 02/18/21 DOCKET NO. 17-37 116 DATE: February 18, 2021 ORDER Entitlement to service connection for ear disability, to include otitis media and recurrent tinnitus, is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT On December 11, 2020, 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 (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 19.55 (2020). REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Army from September 1965 to September 1968. This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA or Board) on appeal from a January 2015 rating decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). Withdrawn Issues The Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed. 38 U.S.C. § 7105. An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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 In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. See December 2020 Correspondence. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed. KRISTI L.
