                                         ORDER

         On August 11, 2020, this Court received from Tian Ge Zhou a notice of appeal

from a Superior Court order entered on July 8, 2020. Under Supreme Court Rule 6,

a timely notice of appeal should have been filed on or before August 7, 2020. A

notice of appeal must be timely filed to invoke the Court’s appellate jurisdiction.1 A

notice of appeal must be received by the Court within the applicable time period to

be effective.2 On August 24, 2020, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice directing

the appellants to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed as untimely

filed. On September 3, 2020, the Court received the certified mail receipt indicating

that the notice to show cause had been delivered on August 28, 2020. The appellants

have not filed a response to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day

period. Dismissal of this appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed.

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

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

                                       BY THE COURT:

                                       /s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr.
