O R D E R  
 
 
This 9th day of May 2007, it appears to the Court that: 
 
(1) 
On April 3, 2007, the Court received the appellant’s notice of 
appeal from the Superior Court’s January 29, 2007 order denying his motion 
for modification of sentence.  Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 6, a timely 
notice of appeal from the January 29, 2007 order should have been filed on 
or before February 28, 2007.   
 
(2) 
On April 5, 2007, the Clerk of the Court issued a notice 
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(b) directing the appellant to show cause 
why the appeal should not be dismissed as untimely filed.  The Clerk also 
notified the appellant that, unless the appellant responded within 10 days of 
 
2
receipt, dismissal of the appeal would be deemed to be unopposed.  The 
appellant’s certified receipt of the notice was filed in the Court on April 19, 
2007, but the appellant has not responded to the notice to show cause. 
 
(3) 
Because the appellant has failed to respond to the notice to 
show cause within the required 10-day period, dismissal of this action is 
deemed to be unopposed. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Supreme 
Court Rules 3(b) (2) and 29(b), the within appeal is DISMISSED.
