O R D E R 
This 14th day of September 2015, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The appellant, Donna M. Smith, filed this appeal from the 
Superior Court’s order of July 24, 2015, granting a writ of possession to the 
appellee, Fannie Mae a/k/a Federal National Mortgage Association.  The 
July 24 order provided that “[t]he Rule to Show Cause shall be made 
absolute on September 24, 2015, and the Writ of Possession shall issue 
immediately thereafter.” 
(2) 
On August 27, 2015, the Clerk issued a notice, by certified mail 
and regular mail, directing Smith to show cause why this appeal should not 
be dismissed for her failure to comply with Supreme Court Rule 42 when 
2 
 
taking an appeal from an apparent interlocutory order.  Smith has not 
responded to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period.  
Dismissal of the appeal is deemed to be unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 
3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
