Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
DARREL COPELAND, § § No. 247, 2024 Defendant Below, § Appellant, § Court Below–Superior Court § of the State of Delaware v. § § Cr. ID No. 2003011505 (N) STATE OF DELAWARE, § § Appellee. §
Submitted: December 31, 2024 Decided: January 7, 2025
ORDER
On December 9, 2024, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent a notice of brief
delinquency to the appellant, Darrel Copeland, because he had not filed an opening
brief by the December 4, 2024 deadline set by the Court. On December 18, 2024,
the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice, sent by certified mail, to Copeland directing
him to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file an
opening brief. Copeland received the notice on December 20, 2024. A timely
response to the notice was due on or before December 30, 2024. To date, Copeland
has neither responded to the notice to show cause nor filed an opening brief.1
Dismissal of this appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed.
1 Copeland has also failed to complete a motion to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the Supreme Court filing fee. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED
under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b).
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr. Chief Justice
