Narrative:

The [relief officer] picked up the master flight plan clip board and accidentally dropped it from the glare shield area it landed on the right fuel cut off switch and moved it to cut off shutting down the engine. I then started a turn right about 45 degrees off the track and located the class 2 navigation/ETOPS guide and gave the airplane to the [relief officer] and instructed him to begin the driftdown check list. I set a 15NM offset in the FMC and armed the LNAV...somewhere before 15NM off set the airspeed was slowing down so we began a descent we used the east/O (engine out) speed at first then set company speed in the FMC around 310 knots. We were now on the offset. We searched for a checklist and I found and accomplished the rt engine fail check list and restarted the engine as the engine stabilized we leveled off a fl 310. About this time we had woken up the resting [relief officer] and he was on the flight deck. Around this time we received a SELCAL from center we let them know what happened as well as our position and altitude. Around this time I called dispatch to give him the details and to confirm that we were stable and to verify if he felt it safe to continue to ZZZ. We and dispatch agreed it safe to continue. We requested a clearance back on course and a climb with center. They cleared us to go back on course and to climb to FL350 then once on track to climb back to fl 400. We did this and intercepted a few miles east of 180. We then proceeded to ZZZ without further incident. We called the flight attendants as there was load shedding that had occurred all came back on line after engine start.
