ORDER

‘This 21% day of June 2007, it appears to the Court that:

(1) On April 27, 2007, the appellant, Linda Cannon, filed a notice
of appeal from the Superior Court's March 29, 2007 order, which permitted
the law firm of Ramunno, Ramunno & Scerba, P.A., to intervene in Cannon
v. Patton et al., Super. Ct., C.A. 02C-10-122, a personal injury lawsuit filed
by Cannon, in order to assert a claim for its fees and costs against Cannon
and a claim to the proceeds of any settlement or recovery by Cannon.

(2) The Clerk of the Court issued a notice dated May 1, 2007,

which directed Cannon to show cause why this appeal should not be

 

dismissed pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(b) for failure to comply with
Rule 42 when taking an appeal from an apparent interlocutory order. The

notice stated that, if Cannon did not respond to the notice to show cause
within 10 days of receipt, dismissal of the appeal would be deemed to be
‘unopposed.

(3) The Supreme Court docket sheet reflects that, on May 29, 2007,
the notice to show cause was returned unclaimed and was re-sent by first
class mail to Cannon's last-known address. The docket also reflects that, on
June 8, 2007, Cannon responded to the notice to show cause, conceding that
she mistakenly believed her appeal was from a final order and requesting
that she be permitted to proceed with an appeal once a final order has issued
from the Superior Court.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court
Rules 3(b) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED as unopposed.
Cannon's filing fee in this appeal shall be applied to any future appeal by
Cannon in this matter, following the issuance of a final order by the Superior
Cour.
