ORDER 
 
On December 2, 2022, the appellant, Taylor Charles, filed a notice of appeal 
from the Family Court’s decision rescinding her guardianship of two of her 
grandchildren.  The Senior Court Clerk directed Charles to pay the filing fee or file 
a motion to proceed in forma pauperis by January 11, 2023.  Charles did not pay the 
filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis.  On January 24, 2023, the 
Senior Court Clerk issued a notice, by certified mail,  directing Charles to show 
cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for her failure to pay the filing fee or 
file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Postal records show delivery of the notice 
to show cause on January 26, 2023.  A timely response to the notice to show cause

was due on or before February 6, 2023.  To date, Charles has not responded to the 
notice to show cause, paid the filing fee, or filed a motion to proceed in forma 
pauperis.  Dismissal of this appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) 
and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
