This 29th day of August 2006, upon consideration of the appellant’s 
untimely notice of appeal, the notice to show cause issued by the Clerk, and 
the appellant’s response thereto, it appears that the appellant’s failure to 
timely file his notice of appeal is not attributable to court-related personnel.1 
 
 
 
                                                 
1Bey v. State, 402 A.2d 362, 363 (Del. 1979).  In his response to the notice to show cause, 
the appellant states that he did not timely file his notice of appeal because he waited to 
see if his son’s visitation with his mother would be successful.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 6 and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED.
