This 7th day of October 2003, it appears to the Court that on September 12, 
2003, the Clerk issued a notice to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed 
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(b) for the appellant’s 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: 
 
/s/ E. Norman Veasey
