ORDER 
 
It appears to the Court that the appellant, Robert Fink, filed this appeal from 
his sentence for a violation of probation (“VOP”).  Fink subsequently filed a motion 
to modify the VOP sentence to remove the Level V portions of the sentence so that 
he could complete inpatient substance treatment outside of prison, which the 
Superior Court granted on July 21, 2022.  In denying Fink’s motion for preparation 
of the VOP hearing transcript at State expense, the Superior Court noted the mooting 
effect of the sentence modification on Fink’s VOP appeal.  On July 25, 2022, the 
Senior Court Clerk issued a notice directing Fink to show cause why this appeal 
should not be dismissed as moot.  Fink has not responded to the notice to show cause 
within the required ten-day period and therefore dismissal of this appeal is deemed 
to be unopposed. 
 
2
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) 
and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
