This 21st day of August 2007, the Court has considered the Clerk’s 
notice to show cause, which was sent to the appellant, Aaron Porter, by 
certified mail on July 6, 2007, and the duplicate notice to show cause, which 
was sent to Porter by first class mail on July 12, 2007.1  The Clerk issued the 
notices to Porter for his failure to file the opening brief and appendix.2  
Porter has not responded to the notices to show cause, and he has not filed 
the opening brief and appendix.  Porter’s failure to respond to the notices are 
deemed to be his consent to the dismissal of this appeal. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b) that the appeal is DISMISSED.
