ORDER 
 
This 28th day of August 2015, it appears to the Court that, on August 10, 
2015, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice to the appellant to show cause why 
this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file his notice of appeal within 
thirty days of the July 8, 2015 docketing of the Superior Court order denying his 
second motion for postconviction relief.  Because the appellant failed to respond to 
the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period, dismissal of this 
appeal is deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED. 
BY THE COURT: 
/s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr. 
 
Chief Justice
