ORDER 
 
The appellant filed a notice of appeal on January 25, 2019.  Instead of paying 
the filing fee, she submitted with her notice of appeal a motion to proceed in forma 
pauperis, but the motion did not contain all the required information.  On January 
28, 2019, the Senior Court Clerk sent the appellant a letter enclosing the incomplete 
motion and directing her to return the completed motion no later than February 12, 
2019, or a notice to show cause would issue.  On February 19, 2019, the Chief 
Deputy Clerk issued a notice to the appellant to show cause why the appeal should 
not be dismissed because of her failure to diligently prosecute the appeal by filing 
                                                 
1 The Court previously assigned pseudonyms to the parties under Supreme Court Rule 7(d). 
 
2 
the completed motion to proceed in forma pauperis.  The appellant 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, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b) 
and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
