  O R D E R 
 
This 8th day of July 2011, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
By notice issued on June 14, 2011, the Clerk directed the pro se 
appellant, Christopher King, to show cause why this appeal should not be 
dismissed for failure to file the opening brief.  The notice was sent to King at 
the address he provided in his notice of appeal.  Nonetheless, the notice was 
returned marked “return to sender” and “attempted not known.” 
(2) 
On June 20, 2011, the Clerk sent a copy of the notice to show 
cause to King by first class mail.  King has not responded to the notice and 
has not filed the opening brief and appendix.  King also has not notified the 
2 
 
Clerk of a change of address.*  Under these circumstances, the dismissal of 
King’s appeal is deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.

orders filed in the case”).
