O R D E R  
 
 
This  17th day of August 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.1  
Accordingly, this Court does not have jurisdiction to hear this untimely 
appeal.   
 
 
                                                 
1Bey v. State, 402 A.2d 362, 363 (Del. 1979).  In the appellant’s response to the notice to 
show cause, he states that he did not have sufficient time in the law library to obtain the 
necessary materials to file his appeal.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 6 and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED.
