On September 16, 2019, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that he was delinquent in remitting a $205.00 filing fee. The Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal if the filing fee was not paid within ten days from the date of receipt of this letter. See id. R. 42.3(b),(c).
