May 8, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER re: Motion to vacate filing fee, which the court construes as a motion to recall the mandate. [ # 4 ] the request to recall the mandate is DENIED without prejudice to renewal in a motion that includes confirmation that the appellant has either paid the $605.00 appellate filings fees or filed a motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis in the district court. Any renewed motion is due by June 8, 2026. Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 42(b) allows an appellant to voluntarily dismiss his appeal. However, the appellant is reminded that this appeal is subject to the Prison Litigation Reform Act and therefore the filing of a notice of appeal triggers the obligation to pay the appropriate filing fees and voluntary dismissal does not relieve the appellant of the obligation to pay the appellate filing fees. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(b). The clerk shall send the appellant an asset affidavit form and a copy of the courts public docket. [5] [7524199] CDH [26-1359] (CG) [Entered: 05/08/2026 10:47 AM]
