ORDER 
 
Having considered the notice to show cause, the Court concludes that: 
(1) 
On March 6, 2018, the appellant, Cedric Tagert, filed a notice of appeal 
from a Family Court order affirming a Commissioner’s order granting the appellee’s 
petition for a protection from abuse order and denying the appellant’s cross-petition 
for a protection from abuse order.  The Senior Court Clerk issued, by certified mail 
to the address Tagert provided, a notice directing Tagert to show cause why the 
appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to pay the Family Court filing fee.  The 
notice to show cause was re-sent by first class mail on June 21, 2018.   
                                                 
1 The Court previously assigned pseudonyms to the appellants under Supreme Court Rule 7(d). 
2 
 
(2) 
On June 29, 2018, the certified notice to show cause was returned to the 
Court in an envelope marked “Return to Sender, Unclaimed, Unable to Forward.”  
Tagert has failed to respond to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day 
period.  Under these circumstances, dismissal of this appeal is deemed to be 
unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
