This 10th day of October 2001, it appears to the Court that:
(1)
The defendant-appellant, Dexter L. Morris, filed an appeal in this
Court on June 15, 2001.  On August 16, 2001, the Clerk issued a notice to show
cause why the appeal should not be dismissed on the ground of mootness.1  On
August 23, 2001, the notice to show cause was returned by the post office to the
Clerk’s office marked “Inmate Released.”  On that date, the notice was re-mailed
to Morris via certified mail to an address obtained from the Department of
                                                          
1Supr. Ct. R. 29(b).
2
Correction.  On September 19, 2001, the notice was returned by the post office
to the Clerk’s office marked “Unclaimed.”
(2)
Morris having failed to respond to the notice to show cause within
the required 10-day period, dismissal of this action is deemed to be unopposed.2
NOW, THEREFORE , IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Supreme Court
Rules 3(b) (2) and 29(b), the appeal is DISMISSED.
