ID No. 1906009421 (K) Submitted: May 7, 2021 Decided: May 21, 2021 ORDER On February 11, 2021, the Court issued a briefing schedule; the appellant’s opening brief was due March 30, 2021. On April 6, 2021, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent a brief delinquency letter to the appellant. On April 21, 2021, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice, sent by certified mail, directing the appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file an opening brief. On April 27, 2021, the Court received the certified mail receipt indicating that the notice to show cause had been delivered on April 26, 2021. A timely response to the notice to show cause would have been due on or before May 6, 2021. The appellant has neither responded to the notice to show cause nor 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
