ORDER

This matter is before the court on Mr. McKeighan’s 28 U.S.C. § 2255 application for a certificate of appealability. In light of this court’s September 8, 2011 order in related case no. 08-3204, this court lifts the June 6, 2011 order of abatement and dismisses this matter as moot without prejudice to Mr. McKeighan’s later submitting a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion as an original filing. We grant Mr. McKeighan’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. A copy of this order shall stand as the mandate of the court.
