O R D E R 
 
This 2nd day of April 2009, it appears that, on January 14, 2009, the Court 
issued a notice to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed pursuant to 
Supreme Court Rule 29(b) for the appellant's failure to diligently prosecute his 
appeal by not filing his opening brief and appendix in this matter.  The appellant 
responded to the notice to show cause.   The Clerk informed him that the rule 
would be held in abeyance pending receipt of his brief on or before March 5, 2009. 
Appellant failed to file his brief; therefore, dismissal of this action is deemed to be 
unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme 
Court Rules 3(b) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED. 
BY THE COURT:
