 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

        Plaintiff - Appellee,
                                                              No. 11-3044
 v.                                                 (D.C. Nos. 2:10-CV-02542-JWL &
                                                         2:06-CR-20066-JWL-1)
 JAMES A. MCKEIGHAN,                                            (D. Kan.)

        Defendant - Appellant.

                                          ORDER

Before LUCERO, GORSUCH and MATHESON, Circuit Judges.

       This matter is before the court on Mr. McKeighan’s 28 U.S.C. § 2255 application

for a certificate of appealability. In light of this court’s September 8, 2011 order in

related case no. 08-3204, this court lifts the June 6, 2011 order of abatement and

dismisses this matter as moot without prejudice to Mr. McKeighan’s later submitting a 28

U.S.C. § 2255 motion as an original filing. We grant Mr. McKeighan’s motion to

proceed in forma pauperis. A copy of this order shall stand as the mandate of the court.

                                           ENTERED FOR THE COURT
