IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE STEVEN S. ABERG, SR., § § No. 561, 2019 Respondent Below, § Appellant, § § v. § Court Below: Family Court § of the State of Delaware TINA JOHAL, § § File No. CK09-02326 Petitioner Below, § Petition No. 19-05835 Appellee. §

Submitted: July 6, 2020 Decided: July 9, 2020

ORDER

It appears to the Court that, on March 23, 2020, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued

a notice, sent by certified mail, to the appellant, Steven S. Aberg, Sr., to show cause

why his appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file his opening brief and

appendix. Aberg received the notice to show cause on March 26, 2020. A timely

response to the notice to show cause was due on or before April 6, 2020. Under the

Court’s emergency orders that extended filing deadlines due to the COVID-19

pandemic, the deadline for Aberg’s filing of his opening brief was extended through

July 1, 2020. To date, Aberg 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:
