ORDER 
 
 
 
It appears to the Court that, on May 19, 2022, the Court denied the appellant’s 
motion to proceed in forma pauperis.  The Senior Court Clerk directed the appellant 
to pay the filing fee by June 3, 2022, and warned him that a notice to show cause 
would issue if he did not pay the filing fee.  After the appellant failed to pay the 
filing fee, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice by certified mail on June 7, 2022, 
directing the appellant to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed for his 
failure to pay the filing fee.  Postal records show that notice to show cause was 
unclaimed and being returned to sender.  On June 29, 2022, the Senior Court Clerk 
re-sent the notice to show cause by first-class mail.  To date, the appellant has not

paid the filing fee or responded to the notice to show cause.  Dismissal of this appeal 
is therefore deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
