On December 6, 2021, the appellant, Anthony E. Floyd, filed this appeal from 
a Superior Court order dated and docketed on November 2, 2021, that sentenced him 
for a violation of probation.  A notice of appeal must be timely filed to invoke the 
Court’s appellate jurisdiction.1  On December 7, 2021, the Senior Court Clerk issued 
a notice directing Floyd to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed as 
untimely filed.  On December 13, 2021, the Court received the certified mail receipt 
indicating that the notice to show cause had been delivered on December 10, 2021.  
A timely response to the notice to show cause was due on or before December 20,

appeals must be filed within thirty days.

required ten-day period, dismissal of this action is deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) 
and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
