FINDING OF FACT

The appeal, including service connection claims for left and right knee pain, is dismissed.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

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

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran served in the United States Air Force from July 1988 to July 1992.

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a July 2021 decision issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). In that decision, the RO denied service connection of the claims and found there was no connection between the disabilities and the Veteran's military service. Following, in July 2021, the Veteran submitted a VA Form 10182 disagreeing with the decision and electing to have a hearing before a Veterans Law Judge under the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA) system. While the hearing was scheduled for a date in September 2024, it was canceled as the Veteran has withdrawn his appeal.

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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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

In September 2024, the Veteran's representative indicated in an appeal withdrawal letter that the Veteran wished to withdraw his AMA appeals for service connection for left and right knee pain.  As there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration regarding the above-mentioned issue, the Board does not have jurisdiction over this appeal, and it is dismissed.
