O R D E R 
 
 
This 12th day of September 2006, the Court has considered the 
appellant's untimely notice of appeal,1 the Clerk's notice directing the 
appellant to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed, and the 
appellant's response to the notice to show cause, and it appears to the Court 
that the appeal should be dismissed.  The appellant's failure to timely file the 
notice of appeal is not attributable to court-related personnel.  Consequently, 
                                          
 
1The notice of appeal was filed on June 21, 2006 from an order of the Superior Court 
docketed on May 18, 2006.  See Del. Supr. Ct. R. 6(a) (2006) (providing for thirty-day 
period to file notice of appeal).  
this case does not fall within the exception to the general rule that mandates 
the timely filing of a notice of appeal.2  
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rule 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
