ORDER 
 
On September 21, 2018, the appellant filed a notice of appeal from his August 
16, 2018 sentencing for a violation of probation.  A timely notice of appeal was due 
by September 17, 2018.1  On September 25, 2018, the Senior Court Clerk issued a 
notice directing the appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed 
as untimely filed.  After the Senior Court Clerk informed the appellant that the notice 
show cause would be held in abeyance pending the filing of a complete motion to 
proceed in forma pauperis and the appellant filed a completed motion to proceed in 
                                                 
1 See Supr. Ct. R. 6(a)(iii) (requiring notice of appeal to be filed within thirty days of sentencing); 
Supr. Ct. R. 11(a) (providing that if the last day of the time period prescribed by the Rules falls on 
the weekend or a holiday then the time period runs until the end of the next day the Clerk’s office 
is open).

forma pauperis, the Chief Deputy Clerk directed the appellant to respond to the 
notice to show cause by October 25, 2018.  The appellant has not responded to the 
notice to show cause.  Dismissal of this appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
