ID No. 1809004808 (N) Submitted: February 4, 2020 Decided: February 18, 2020 Corrected: February 19, 2020 ORDER It appears to the Court that, on January 16, 2020, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice, sent by certified mail, to the appellant, Alexander Backus, to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file his opening brief and appendix. Backus received the notice to show cause as evidenced by the undated return receipt that was filed with the Court on January 23, 2020. A timely response to the notice to show cause was due on or before February 3, 2020. Backus has not responded to the notice to show cause nor has he filed an opening brief. Dismissal of the appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Tamika R. Montgomery-Reeves Justice 2
