IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

PETITION OF JIMMIE LEWIS 
FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

§  No. 159, 2009

O R D E R  
 
 
This 21st day of April 2009, it appears to the Court that, on March 25, 
2009, the Clerk of the Court issued a notice to show cause why this appeal 
should not be dismissed pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 43(b) (vi), which 
provides that a petition for a writ of mandamus directed to the Court of 
Common Pleas must be presented to the Superior Court in the first instance.  
In re Paskins, Del. Supr., No. 305, 2005, Berger, J. (Sept. 21, 2005).  The 
appellant has failed to respond to the notice to show cause within the 
required ten-day period.  Therefore, dismissal of this action is deemed to be 
unopposed. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED.
