This 19th day of June 2002, it appears to the Court that: 
 
(1) 
On April 2, 2002, the defendant-appellant, George D. Lloyd, filed an 
appeal from the March 13, 2002 oral ruling of the Superior Court denying his 
motion to withdraw his guilty plea.  By letter dated April 3, 2002, the Clerk 
advised Lloyd to make the appropriate arrangements to obtain the transcript of the 
oral ruling by April 17, 2002.  Lloyd did not respond to the Clerk’s letter.  By letter 
dated April 24, 2002, the Clerk advised Lloyd to make the appropriate 
arrangements to obtain the transcript by May 17, 2002, or a rule to show cause why 
the appeal should not be dismissed would issue.   
 
(2) 
On May 21, 2002, having received no response from Lloyd, the Clerk 
issued a notice to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed pursuant to 
Supreme Court Rule 29(b) for failure to pursue the appeal diligently by not 
 
2
complying with the Clerk’s April 24, 2002 letter.  The docket sheet indicates that 
Lloyd received the notice to show cause on May 29, 2002, but failed to respond 
within the required 10-day period.  Therefore, dismissal of this action is deemed to 
be unopposed pursuant to Supreme Court Rules 3(b) and 29(b). 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b) and 29(b), the within appeal is DISMISSED.
