O R D E R 
 
This 31st day of August 2012, it appears to the Court that, on August 13, 
2012, the Clerk issued a notice to appellant to show cause why this appeal should 
not be dismissed for his failure to diligently prosecute the appeal by not filing his 
opening brief and appendix in this matter.  The appellant has failed to respond to 
the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period; therefore, dismissal of 
this action is deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme 
Court Rules 3(b) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED. 
 
 
BY THE COURT:
