The claimant filed a Petition to Review an order of Administrative Law Judge Schulman (ALJ) dated July 7, 1999. The matter was subsequently transmitted to us for review. We dismiss the appeal.

In correspondence dated January 4, 2000, the claimant’s counsel advised us of the claimant’s intent to withdraw the Petition to Review upon receipt of an order approving the parties’ agreement for the full and final settlement of the claim.

Under these circumstances the claimant’s request to withdraw her Petition to Review is granted.
