Case: 13-7143 Document: 12 Page: 1 Filed: 12/20/2013 NOTE: This order is nonprecedential. United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ BRIAN ANDERSON, Claimant-Appellant, v. ERIC K. SHINSEKI, SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, Respondent-Appellee. ______________________ 2013-7143 ______________________ Appeal from the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in No. 12-274. ______________________ ON MOTION ______________________ ORDER Brian Anderson moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Anderson is incarcerated. Pursuant to the Prisoner Litigation Reform Act of 1995, this court may not authorize the prosecution of an appeal by a prisoner without the prepayment of fees. 28 U.S.C. § 1915. A prisoner is no longer afforded the alternative of proceeding without Case: 13-7143 Document: 12 2 Page: 2 ANDERSON Filed: 12/20/2013 v. SHINSEKI payment of filing fees, but must, in time, pay the $455 filing fee in its entirety. When funds exist, an initial partial payment must be made consisting of 20% of the greater of (a) the average monthly deposits to the prisoner s account or (b) the average monthly balance in the prisoner s account for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the notice of appeal. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Thereafter, the prisoner is required to make monthly payments of 20% of the preceding month s income credited to the prisoner s account. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). The agency with custody of the prisoner must forward payments from the prisoner s account each time the amount in the account exceeds $10 until the $455 filing fee is paid in full. Id. By separate letter, the custodian of Anderson s prison account is being directed to make the necessary arrangements to forward the filing fee to the court. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The mandate is recalled, the court's dismissal order is vacated, and the appeal is reinstated. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs should compute his brief due date from the date of this order. (2) Anderson s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is denied. FOR THE COURT /s/ Daniel E.
