ORDER 
 
It appears to the Court that, on February 11, 2019, the Chief Deputy Clerk 
issued a notice to the appellant, Melvin Kellum, to show cause why his appeal should 
not be dismissed for his failure to file his opening brief and appendix.  Kellum 
responded by requesting an extension of time.  The Clerk informed Kellum that his 
opening brief must be filed by March 28, 2019, and the notice to show cause would 
be held in abeyance pending receipt of his brief.  Kellum failed to file his opening 
brief by the extended due date; therefore, dismissal of this action is deemed to be 
unopposed.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) 
and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
