This 25th day of March 2002, it appears to the Court that:

with this Court on December 3, 2001.  Flowers has failed to file his opening
brief.1
(2)
On February 8, 2002, the Clerk issued a notice pursuant to
Supreme Court Rule 29(b) directing Flowers to show cause why the appeal

should not be dismissed for his failure to pursue the appeal diligently by filing
an opening brief and appendix.  Because Flowers has failed to respond to the
notice to show cause within the required 10-day period, dismissal of this
action is deemed to be unopposed.2  
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Supreme
Court Rules 3(b) and 29(b), the within appeal is DISMISSED.
