This 9th day of August 2006, upon consideration of the appellant's 
untimely notice of appeal,1 the Clerk's notice directing the appellant to show 
cause why the appeal should not be dismissed, and the appellant's response 
to the notice to show cause, it appears to the Court that this appeal should be 
dismissed.  The appellant's failure to timely file his notice of appeal is not 
attributable to court-related personnel.  Consequently, this case does not fall 
                                          
 
1The notice of appeal was filed on May 30, 2006 from an order of the Superior Court 
docketed on April 18, 2006.  See Del. Supr. Ct. R. 6(a) (providing for thirty-day period to 
file notice of appeal).

within the exception to the general rule that mandates the timely filing of a 
notice of appeal.2  
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rule 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
