ORDER 
 
On March 17, 2023, the Court issued a briefing schedule in this appeal; the 
appellant’s opening brief was due by April 18, 2023.  The Court later granted the 
appellant’s motion for an extension of time to file his brief, ordering that the opening 
brief was due by June 20, 2023.  On June 21, 2023, Court staff sent a brief 
delinquency letter to the appellant.  On June 29, 2023, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued 
a notice, sent by certified mail, directing the appellant to show cause why this appeal 
should not be dismissed for his failure to file an opening brief.  On July 7, 2023, the 
Court received the certified mail receipt indicating that the notice to show cause had 
been delivered.  The appellant having failed to respond to the notice to show cause 
within the required ten-day period, dismissal of this action is deemed to be 
unopposed.

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