O R D E R 
This 12th day of April 2011, it appears to the Court that by notice issued on 
March 9, 2011, the Clerk directed the pro se appellant, Paul O’Brien, to show 
cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for O’Brien’s failure to file the 
opening brief.1  The notice to show cause was sent by certified mail to O’Brien’s 
attention at the address he provided in the notice of appeal.  The notice to show 
cause was returned to the Clerk with the notation “return to sender” and “unable to 
forward.”  O’Brien has not notified the Clerk of a change of address.2  Under these 
circumstances, dismissal of the appeal is deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court Rules 
3(b) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
