ORDER

(1) On October 6, 2025, the appellant, Sirron Benson, filed a letter that was

deemed to be a notice of appeal from a Superior Court order dated and docketed

August 21, 2025, which denied Benson’s motion for reduction of sentence under

Superior Court Rule of Criminal Procedure 35(b). Benson’s letter stated that he had

received the order on October 2 and was trying to obtain a copy of his prison mail

log.

(2) The Senior Court Clerk issued a notice directing Benson to show cause

why the appeal should not be dismissed as untimely filed and indicating that he could

provide a copy of the mail log with his response. Benson having failed to respond

to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period, dismissal of this

appeal is deemed 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/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr. Chief Justice
