ORDER 
 
This 12th day of April 2018, it appears that, on December 18, 2017, this Court 
denied the appellant’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on the ground that the 
appellant’s motion and affidavit falsely certified that his appeal from the Superior 
Court’s denial of his seventh motion for postconviction relief was not foreclosed by 
controlling law. The appellant was directed to pay the filing fee by April 3, 2018.  
The appellant was informed that his failure to pay by the due date would result in 
the dismissal of his appeal without further notice.   
On April 4, 2018, the appellant filed a motion requesting en banc rehearing 
of the denial of his IFP motion.  The Court finds no basis to grant his motion.  His 
2 
 
failure to pay the filing fee by the due date requires the dismissal of his appeal for 
failure to prosecute. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the within appeal is 
DISMISSED. 
BY THE COURT:
