ORDER 
 
On June 22, 2023, the appellant, Ivan Galindez, filed this appeal from a 
Superior Court order dated and docketed on November 18, 2022, that denied his 
motion for postconviction relief.  A notice of appeal must be timely filed to invoke 
the Court’s appellate jurisdiction.1  Under Supreme Court Rules 6 and 11, a timely 
notice of appeal should have been filed on or before December 19, 2022.  The Senior 
Court Clerk issued a notice directing Galindez to show cause why this appeal should 
not be dismissed as untimely.  On June 29, 2023, the Court received the certified 
mail receipt indicating that the notice to show cause had been delivered on June 26, 
2023.  A timely response to the notice to show cause was due on or before July 6,

required ten-day period, dismissal of this action is deemed unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the appeal is DISMISSED under 
Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b).
