ORDER 
 
On February 15, 2023, the appellant, Sandy Drummond, filed a notice of 
appeal from a Justice of the Peace Court order dated February 10, 2023.  The Senior 
Court Clerk issued a notice, sent by certified mail, directing Drummond to show 
cause why this appeal should not be dismissed based on the Court’s lack of 
jurisdiction to consider an appeal from the Justice of the Peace Court.  Postal records 
indicate that the postal service made a delivery attempt at the address provided by 
Drummond to the Court on February 18, 2023, but no authorized recipient was 
available to sign for delivery.  On March 3, 2023, the Senior Court Clerk reissued 
the notice to show cause by first-class mail.  The notice was returned to the Court as 
unable to be forwarded.  To date, Drummond has not responded to the notice to show 
 
 
2 
 
cause or reported any change of address to the Court.  Dismissal of the appeal is 
therefore deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) 
and 29(b), that the appeal be DISMISSED.
