Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

STEPHEN GRABOWSKI III, § § Defendant Below, § No. 195, 2025 Appellant, § § Court Below: Superior Court v. § of the State of Delaware § STATE OF DELAWARE, § Cr. ID No. 1609006796 (N) § Appellee. §

Submitted: June 3, 2025 Decided: June 18, 2025

ORDER

On May 2, 2025, the appellant filed a notice of appeal from his violation of

probation sentencing on January 9, 2025. A notice of appeal must be timely filed to

invoke the Court’s appellate jurisdiction.1 Under Supreme Court Rules 6 and 11, a

timely notice of appeal would have been filed on or before February 10, 2025. The

Senior Court Clerk issued a notice directing the appellant to show cause why this

appeal should not be dismissed as untimely filed. Postal records reflect that the

notice to show cause was delivered on May 21, 2025. The appellant having failed

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

of this appeal is deemed to be unopposed.

1 Carr v. State, 554 A.2d 778, 779 (Del. 1989). NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)

and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.

BY THE COURT:
