DIVISION OF FAMILY SERVICES, Petitioner Below, Appellee. § § § § § § § § § § § § No. 456, 2014 Court Below—Family Court of the State of Delaware, in and for Kent County, File No. CK01-03651 Petition No. 12-22733 Submitted: December 30, 2014 Decided: December 31, 2014 ORDER This 31st day of December 2014, it appears to the Court that: (1) On August 21, 2014, the appellant, Hannah Parish, filed a notice of appeal from a July 23, 2014 Family Court order changing the permanency goal from reunification to termination of parental rights and adoption. On November 13, 2014, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice to show cause, by certified mail, directing Parish to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed for her failure to file an opening brief and appendix. Parish stated that she did not respond because she requested that all material be certified with signature and that she did not receive any motions. 1 The Court previously assigned pseudonyms to the parties under Supreme Court Rule 7(d). (2) On December 3, 2014, the Clerk issued a notice to show cause, by certified mail, directing Parish to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed for her failure to comply with Supreme Court Rule 42 in filing an appeal from an interlocutory order. The notice to show cause was returned in an envelope marked “Return to Sender, Unclaimed, Unable to Forward.” The notice to show cause was sent again, by first class mail, to the address provided by Parish. Parish has not responded to this notice to show cause within the required ten-day period and therefore dismissal of this appeal is 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/ Randy J. Holland Justice 2
