ORDER 
On January 4, 2023, the appellant, Leo Watson, filed a notice of appeal from 
the Superior Court’s order—dated November 28, 2022, and docketed November 29, 
2022—denying Watson’s motion for sentence modification.  The Senior Court Clerk 
issued, by certified mail, a notice directing Watson to show cause why his appeal 
should not be dismissed as untimely filed.1  Watson received the notice to show 
cause on January 9, 2023.   A timely response to the notice to show cause was due 
on or before January 19, 2023.  To date, Watson has not responded to the notice to 
show cause.  Dismissal of the appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed. 
 
1 Supreme Court Rule 6(a) provides that appeals must be filed within thirty days. 
2 
 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
