ORDER 
 
(1) 
The appellant filed this appeal from a Superior Court violation of 
probation sentence order dated November 2, 2023.  The Senior Court Clerk sent the 
appellant a letter directing him to pay the filing fee or to file a motion and affidavit 
to proceed in forma pauperis by December 20, 2023.  On December 21, 2023, the 
Chief Deputy Clerk sent another letter directing the appellant to either file a motion 
and affidavit to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee by January 4, 2024, 
or a notice to show cause would issue. 
(2) 
On January 8, 2024, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice, by certified 
mail, directing the appellant to show cause why the Court should not dismiss the 
appeal for the appellant’s failure to diligently prosecute the appeal by either paying 
 
2 
the Supreme Court filing fee or filing a motion to proceed in forma pauperis.  The 
notice to show cause directed the appellant to respond within ten days and advised 
that if the appellant did not respond, dismissal of the appeal would be deemed to be 
unopposed.  On January 12, 2024, the Court received the certified-mail receipt 
indicating that the notice had been delivered.   
(3) 
The appellant having failed to respond to the notice to show cause 
within the required ten-day period, dismissal of this action is deemed to be 
unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b) 
and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
