ORDER

The appeal regarding entitlement to service connection for multiple soft tissue sarcoma is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On May 11, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant, via his authorized representative, which requested withdrawal of this appeal.  

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal of entitlement to service connection for multiple soft tissue sarcoma by the appellant are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Army from May 1966 to April 1968. 

This matter comes before the Board on appeal form a March 2015 rating decision of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).

An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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.  Id.  

In the present case, the appellant, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal in the above-referenced May 2020 statement. See 5/11/2020 Correspondence.  In the withdrawal statement, the Veteran specifically requested that his video hearing scheduled for 6/1/2020 be canceled and followed with "...I am withdrawing my appeal with the Board of Veterans Appeals."  Hence, there remains no allegations of error of fact or law for appellate consideration.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed
