O R D E R  
 
 
This 3rd day of November 2010, it appears to the Court that, on 
October 11, 2010, the Clerk issued a notice to show cause why this appeal 
should not be dismissed pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(b) for the 
appellant’s failure to diligently prosecute his appeal by not filing his opening 
brief and appendix.  The appellant has failed to respond to the notice to show 
cause within the required 10-day period.  Therefore, dismissal of this action 
is deemed to be unopposed. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED.
