ORDER
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from a December 30, 1999, decision of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board), which determined that an October 29, 1997, Board decision did not contain clear and unmistakable error. The parties filed their respective briefs, and on May 13, 2002, the Court ordered the parties to submit additional pleadings. On July 25, 2002, the appellant, through counsel, filed a letter, which the Court will construe as a motion to dismiss the appeal pursuant to Rule 42 of the Court's Rules of Practice and Procedure.
Upon consideration of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that the appellant's motion is granted, and this appeal is DISMISSED.
