ORDER 
 
It appears to the Court that, on July 10, 2023, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent a 
notice of brief delinquency to the appellant because she had not filed an opening 
brief by the July 6, 2023 deadline set by the Court.  On July 21, 2023, the Chief 
Deputy Clerk issued a notice, sent by certified mail, directing the appellant to show 
cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for her failure to file an opening brief.  
The appellant received the notice, as evidenced by the return receipt filed with the
