                      ON MOTION

                         ORDER

   Sharon A. Stewart moves for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis.

    The court notes that this appeal was dismissed on
October 19, 2012 for failure to pay the fee and for failure to
submit the Federal Circuit Rule 15(c) statement. The Rule
15(c) statement was filed on November 29, 2012. We treat
Ms. Stewart’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis
as a motion to reinstate the appeal.
