On January 18, 2022, the appellant, Cam Herring, filed this appeal from a 
Superior Court order dated and docketed on December 15, 2021, that granted a 
motion to dismiss his petition for a writ of mandamus.  A notice of appeal must be 
timely filed to invoke the Court’s appellate jurisdiction.1  Under Supreme Court Rule 
6(a)(i), a timely notice of appeal should have been filed on or before January 14, 
2022.  On January 19, 2022, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice directing Herring 
to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed as untimely filed.  On January 
24, 2022, the Court received the certified mail receipt indicating that the notice to 
show cause had been delivered.  A timely response to the notice to show cause was 
 
1 Carr v. State, 554 A.2d 778, 779 (Del. 1989).

due on or before February 3, 2022.  The appellant having failed to respond to the 
notice to show cause within the 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.
