O R D E R 
This 10th day of September 2014, it appears to the Court that, on 
August 27, 2014, the Clerk issued a notice to the appellant to show cause 
why this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to diligently 
prosecute the appeal by not filing his opening brief and appendix and for his 
failure to pay the required filing fee.  The appellant has failed to respond to 
the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period.  Consequently, 
dismissal of the appeal is deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 
3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
