O R D E R 
 
This 16th day of October 2006, upon consideration of the appellant’s untimely 
notice of appeal, the notice to show cause issued by the Clerk, and the appellant’s 
response thereto, it appears that the appellant’s failure to timely file his appeal is not 
attributable to court-related personnel.∗  Accordingly, this Court has no jurisdiction to 
hear this untimely appeal. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court Rules 6 
and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED. 
 
BY THE COURT: 
 
/s/ Randy J. Holland 
Justice
