ORDER

(1) The Court issued a briefing schedule in this appeal on November 24,

2025; the appellant’s opening brief was due December 24, 2025. The appellant did

not file an opening brief. On December 30, 2025, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent a

brief delinquency notice to the appellant. The appellant did not respond to the letter

and did not file an opening brief.

(2) On January 9, 2026, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice, sent by

certified mail, directing the appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be

dismissed because the appellant had not filed an opening brief and appendix. On

January 20, the Court received the certified-mail receipt confirming that the notice

had been delivered. The appellant having failed to respond to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period or to file the opening brief, dismissal of this

action 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:
