ORDER 
On December 21, 2022, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice, sent by 
certified mail, directing the appellants to show cause why this appeal should not be 
dismissed for their failure to pay the Supreme Court filing fee or file a motion to 
proceed in forma pauperis.  The appellants received the notice, as evidenced by the 
certified return receipt filed with the Court on December 28, 2022.  A timely 
response to the notice to show cause was due on or before January 10, 2023.  To 
date, the appellants have not paid the Supreme Court filing fee, filed a motion to 
proceed in forma pauperis, or responded to the notice to show cause.  Dismissal of 
this action is therefore deemed to be unopposed.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
