UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

ROBERT E. COTNER, 

 Petitioner - Appellant 

v. 

STATE OF OKLAHOMA, 

 Respondent - Appellee

No. 08-5032

(D.C. No. 4:08-MC-00006-CVE)

ORDER

On March 6, 2008, this court issued an order directing the appellant to show

cause why his appeal should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the filing

restrictions imposed by this court. See Cotner v. Boone, 48 Fed. Appx. 287, 2002

WL 31045393 (10th Cir. 2002). The court’s March 6, 2008 order advised the

appellant that his failure to respond fully would subject his appeal to dismissal for

lack of prosecution. 

Although appellant has submitted a document captioned as his response to

the March 6 show cause order, the document does not include the materials or

information identified in this court’s decision restricting his ability to file matters

in this court. Accordingly, appellant has failed to fully and adequately respond to

the show cause order.

Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for lack of prosecution. See 10th Cir. R.

42.1. Appellant’s “Emergency Notice and Motion” is denied.
