ORDER 
 
On September 23, 2022, the appellant, Marcus Henderson, filed a letter that 
was deemed an appeal of the Superior Court’s August 17, 2022 order denying 
Henderson’s motion for sentence modification.  A timely notice of appeal was due 
by September 16, 2022.1  The Senior Court Clerk issued, by certified mail, a notice 
directing Henderson to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed as 
untimely filed.   On September 30, 2022, the Court received the certified mail receipt 
indicating that the notice to show cause had been delivered on September 28, 2022.  
A timely response to the notice to show cause was due by October 10, 2022.  To 
date, Henderson has not responded to the notice to show cause.  Dismissal of this 
appeal 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.
