BRIAN ANDERSON, Claimant-Appellant, v. ERIC K. SHINSEKI, SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, Respondent-Appellee.
NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.
Appeal from the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in No. 12-274.
ON MOTION
ORDER
Brian Anderson submits a petition for rehearing, which the court treats as a motion to reopen his appeal. Mr. Anderson's appeal was dismissed on November 1, 2013 for failure to pay the docketing fee and for failure to file a brief. While Anderson states that he submitted a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, it has not been received by this court.
Upon consideration thereof,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The motion will be granted, the mandate will be recalled, the dismissal order will be vacated, and the appeal will be reinstated if Mr. Anderson files his opening brief and a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (using the enclosed IFP form) within 30 days of the date of filing of this order.
FOR THE COURT
