DOCKET NO. 16-52 206
DATE: March 15, 2021

ORDER

Entitlement to service connection for bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On January 20, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant, through his attorney of record, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

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

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran had active service from December 1960 to September 1981.

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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  In the present case, the appellant, through his attorney of record, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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