   ORDER

Michael W. Blashford moves to reinstate his appeal dismissed on October 17, 2013, for failure to prosecute.

Upon consideration thereof,

It Is Ordered That:

(1) The motion is granted. The court’s October 17, 2013 dismissal order is vacated, the mandate is recalled, and the appeal is reinstated.

(2) Blashford’s informal brief is due no later than 21 days from the date of this order.
