ORDER

Walter Richardson, Jr. moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and submits a Fed. Cir. R. 15(c) statement concerning discrimination.

(1) Richardson’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted.

(2) The court’s November 17, 2005 dismissal order is vacated, the mandate is recalled, and the petition for review is reinstated.

(3) Richardson’s brief is due within 21 days of the date of filing of this order.
