STATE OF DELAWARE,                       §   Cr. ID No. 1708010942 (N)

       Appellee.                         §

                          Submitted: January 3, 2023
                           Decided: January 18, 2023

                                   ORDER

      On October 26, 2022, the appellant, Jermaine Carter, filed a notice of appeal

from the Superior Court’s denial of his motion for postconviction relief under

Superior Court Criminal Rule 61. The Senior Court Clerk directed Carter to pay the

filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis by November 10, 2022.

Carter did not pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. On

December 20, 2022, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice, by certified mail,

directing Carter to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure

to pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Postal records

show delivery of the notice to show cause on December 22, 2022. A timely response

to the notice to show cause was due on or before January 3, 2023. To date, Carter

has not responded to the notice to show cause, paid the filing fee, or filed a motion
to proceed in forma pauperis. Dismissal of this appeal is therefore deemed to be

unopposed.

      NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2)

and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.

                                    BY THE COURT:

                                    /s/ Karen L. Valihura
                                    Justice
