IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

  STEVEN DRAKE,                            §
                                           §   No. 105, 2023
        Defendant Below,                   §
        Appellant,                         §   Court Below—Superior Court
                                           §   of the State of Delaware
        v.                                 §
                                           §   Cr. ID No. 0509011266A (N)
  STATE OF DELAWARE,                       §
                                           §
        Appellee.                          §

                          Submitted: April 14, 2023
                          Decided:   April 19, 2023

                                      ORDER

      On March 27, 2023, the appellant filed a notice of appeal from the Superior

Court’s summary dismissal of his second motion for postconviction relief while his

timely motion for reargument was pending in the Superior Court. The Senior Court

Clerk issued a notice directing the appellant to show cause why this appeal should be

dismissed for this Court’s lack of jurisdiction to hear criminal interlocutory appeals.

The notice to show cause was delivered, as evidenced by the certified return receipt

filed with the Court, on April 3, 2023. The appellant has not responded 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)(2)

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

                                    BY THE COURT:

                                    /s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr.
                                         Chief Justice

                                        2
