and Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed in this case in forma pauperis (“IFP”). ECF No. 6.
On October 27, 2015 this Court entered a Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate

to Appeal. ECF No. 17. On May 11, 2016 Plaintiff filed a Motion to Withdraw Notice of Appeal.
ECF No. 21. On May 20, 2016 the Eighth Circuit issued a mandate dismissing Plaintiff’s appeal
and assessing the $505.00 appellate filing fee against Plaintiff. ECF No. 23.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motions to Appeal (ECF No. 15, 18) are DENIED as moot.
