   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.

2                             ANDERSON    v. SHINSEKI

      Upon consideration thereof,
      IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    The motion will be granted, the mandate will be re-
called, 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.
