This 5th day of July 2011, it appears that the appellant, James 
Humphrey, filed an appeal from the Superior Court’s March 7, 2011 order 
denying his motion for modification of sentence.  On June 9, 2011, the 
appellee, State of Delaware, filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as moot.1  
Humphrey has not responded to the motion to dismiss.2  Dismissal of the 
appeal is deemed to be unopposed.3   
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2), 29(b) and 30(b), (c), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
