DOCKET NO. 10-21 076
DATE: May 3, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On March 26, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) received notification from the appellant that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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  In the present case, the appellant has withdrawn this appeal with respect to the issues of entitlement to an increased rating higher than 20 percent for costovertebral syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis, increased rating higher than 10 percent for left chondromalacia patella, increased rating higher than 10 percent for right chondromalacia patella, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities. 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.
