                      ON MOTION
                  ______________________

                        ORDER
     This court dismissed the above-captioned appeal on
 July 21, 2014, for failure to file the brief required by
 Federal Circuit Rule 31(a) within the time permitted by
 the rules. Refugio Arturo Sias moves to reopen this
 appeal, and he has attached his informal brief. Mr. Sias’s
 brief, however, does not comply with the rules of this
 court.
