ORDER 
 
On March 27, 2023, the appellant filed a notice of appeal from the Superior 
Court’s summary dismissal of his second motion for postconviction relief while his 
timely motion for reargument was pending in the Superior Court.  The Senior Court 
Clerk issued a notice directing the appellant to show cause why this appeal should be 
dismissed for this Court’s lack of jurisdiction to hear criminal interlocutory appeals.  
The notice to show cause was delivered, as evidenced by the certified return receipt 
filed with the Court, on April 3, 2023.  The appellant has not responded to the notice 
to show cause within the required ten-day period.  Dismissal of this appeal is therefore 
deemed to be unopposed.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) 
and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.   
BY THE COURT:
