ORDER 
 
(1) 
The Court issued a briefing schedule in this appeal on April 1, 2024; 
the appellant’s opening brief was due May 1, 2024.  On May 6, 2024, the Chief 
Deputy Clerk sent a brief delinquency letter to the appellant.  The appellant did not 
respond to the letter and did not file the opening brief. 
(2) 
On May 15, 2024, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice, sent by 
certified mail, directing the appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be 
dismissed because the appellant had not filed an opening brief and appendix.  Postal 
records reflect that delivery was attempted on May 17 and 22, 2024, but no 
authorized recipient was available.  The postal service left notice at the delivery 
address and later returned the notice as unclaimed.  On May 31, 2024, the Chief 
Deputy Clerk reissued the notice to show cause by first-class mail.  The appellant 
 
2 
having failed to respond to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day 
period, to file the opening brief, or to report any change of address to the Court, 
dismissal of this action is deemed unopposed.  
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) 
and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
