This 8

(1) 
By letter dated February 17, 2006, the Clerk advised the appellant, 
William R. Abbott, Jr., that the Family Court filing fee and transcript cost were 
overdue and must be paid on or before March 2, 2006.  Abbott did not submit the 
required fee and cost to the Family Court. 
(2) 
On March 13, 2006, the Clerk issued a notice directing that Abbott show 
cause why this appeal should not be dismissed pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(b) 
for his failure to diligently prosecute the appeal.  Abbott did not respond to the notice 
to show cause.  The dismissal of Abbott's appeal is deemed to be unopposed pursuant 
to Supreme Court Rule 3(b)(2). 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court Rules 
3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
