O R D E R 
 
This 11th day of June 2010, it appears to the Court that, on May 24, 2010, 
the Clerk issued a notice to appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be 
dismissed pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(b) for his failure to diligently 
prosecute his appeal by not filing his opening brief and appendix in this matter.  
The appellant has 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 HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme 
Court Rules 3(b) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED. 
BY THE COURT:
