O R D E R 
 
This 30th day of September 2013, it appears to the Court that, on September 
6, 2013, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice to appellant to show cause why 
this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to diligently prosecute the appeal 
by not filing his opening brief and appendix in this matter.  The appellant has 
failed to respond to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period; 
therefore, dismissal of this action is deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme 
Court Rules 3(b) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED. 
BY THE COURT: 
 
/s/ Myron T. Steele 
Chief Justice
