Heckler, to show cause why her appeal should not be dismissed for this Court’s lack of jurisdiction to consider a direct appeal from the decision of a Family Court Commissioner. The United States Postal Service tracking information sheet indicates that the notice was delivered to an individual at Heckler’s address on May 29, 2021. A timely response to the notice to show cause was due on or before June 8, 2021. To date, Heckler has not responded to the notice to show cause. Dismissal of the appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed. 1 The Court previously assigned pseudonyms to the parties pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 7(d). NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr. Chief Justice 2
