ORDER 
 
It appears to the Court that, on April 25, 2023, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent a 
notice of brief delinquency to the appellant because he had not filed an opening brief 
by the April 21, 2023 deadline set by the Court.  On May 3, 2023, the Chief Deputy 
Clerk issued a notice, sent by certified mail, directing the appellant to show cause 
why this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file an opening brief.  The 
United States Postal Service tracking information sheet indicates that the notice was 
left with an individual at the address provided to the Court by the appellant on May 
4, 2023.  A timely response to the notice to show cause was due by May 15, 2023.  
To date, the appellant has not filed an opening brief or responded to the notice to 
show cause.  Dismissal of this action is therefore deemed to be unopposed.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) 
and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
