The appeal for an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for a partial thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon of the right shoulder is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT On March 7, 2022, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested. CONCLUSION OF LAW The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran 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 with the United States Air Force from April 1978 to December 1978. This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from an April 2012 rating decision by an agency of original jurisdiction (AOJ) of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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 Veteran or by his or her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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. WILLIAM H. DONNELLY Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans' Appeals Attorney for the Board G.A.
