                In the Matter of ARNOLD S. BATTISE


     Arnold S. Battise, Seattle, WA, Claimant.

     M. Jay Adams, Hearing Officer, Chief Administrative Law Judge, Office of Hearings
and Appeals, Social Security Administration, Seattle, WA, appearing for Social Security
Administration.

DeGRAFF, Board Judge.

     Arnold S. Battise asked us to review the Social Security Administration's decision to
deny his request for reimbursement of expenses incurred during official temporary duty
travel.  On April 9, 2004, the Board received a letter from Mr. Battise withdrawing his claim. 
Accordingly, this claim is dismissed.
