DOCKET NO. 17-06 002
DATE: April 20, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On February 4, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran, through his attorney, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran (or his authorized attorney) 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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  In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized attorney, has withdrawn this appeal, which includes the issues of service connection for a right ankle disability and increased ratings for the low back, neck, and lower extremity radiculopathy.  In February 2021, his attorney stated, “[p]lease be advised that the [V]eteran has informed me that he wishes to dismiss/withdraw all appeals currently pending before the Regional Office and/or the BVA.”  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.
