Filing 7
ORDER re: Motion to recall the mandate. [ # 6 ] The request to recall the mandate is GRANTED to the extent that the courts final order dated April 21, 2026, is VACATED, the mandate is RECALLED, and this appeal is REINSTATED. The clerk shall file INSTANTER the tendered motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis and the appellants letter regarding his prison trust fund account statement. To the extent that the appellant seeks to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, his paperwork is incomplete because it does not include the required asset affidavit, trust fund account statement, and PLRA memorandum. Accordingly, the appellant shall file the required asset affidavit, trust fund account statement, and PLRA memorandum with the clerk of this court by June 17, 2026. In his memorandum, the appellant should explain why he believes the district courts denial of leave to appeal in forma pauperis was erroneous. Failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this appeal. The clerk will send the appellant an asset affidavit form. Finally, the appellant shall file his Circuit Rule 3(c) docketing statement by June 17, 2026. The appellant is reminded that this appeal is subject to the Prison Litigation Reform Act and, therefore, all proceedings are suspended pending the assessment and payment of any necessary fees.
