IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE DYLAN M. CHAMBERS, Defendant Below, Appellant, v. STATE OF DELAWARE, Plaintiff Below, Appellee. § § § § § § § § § § § § No. 431, 2018 Court Below—Superior Court of the State of Delaware Cr. ID Nos. 1607009133 & 1608001734 (K) Submitted: December 2, 2018 Decided: December 11, 2018 Before STRINE, Chief Justice; VALIHURA and TRAYNOR, Justices. ORDER After consideration of the notice to show cause and the response to the notice to show cause, it appears to the Court that: (1) This appeal arises from a Superior Court order sentencing the appellant, Dylan M. Chambers, for a violation of probation. On November 1, 2018, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice directing Chambers to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file an opening brief and appendix on or before the filing deadline of October 5, 2018. (2) In his response to the notice to show cause, Chambers stated that he had been unable to prepare an opening brief because he had been transferred within the prison and to another prison. The response was deemed a request for an extension. Chambers was given an extension until December 1, 2018 to file his opening brief. Chambers still has not filed an opening brief and appendix. This appeal is therefore dismissed. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rule 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Karen L. Valihura Justice 2
