O R D E R 
 
This 14th day of December 2010, the Court has considered the notice 
to show cause issued to the appellant, Kevin E. Stevens, for his failure to file 
the opening brief that was due to be filed on or before November 17, 2010.  
It appears to the Court that the notice to show cause was mailed to Stevens 
on December 1, 2010 by certified mail and by regular mail on December 7, 
2010.  Both envelopes were returned by the post office marked “attempted 
not known.”  Because Stevens has failed to diligently prosecute the appeal 
by not filing the opening brief and has failed to provide the Court with his 
current address, dismissal of this action is deemed to be unopposed. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
