Hugo, Karen v. Wawa Store 801

Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

KAREN HUGO, § § Plaintiff Below, § No. 485, 2025 Appellant, § § Court Below–Superior Court v. § of the State of Delaware § WAWA STORE #801, et al., § C.A. No. N23C-07-006 § Defendants Below, § Appellees. §

Submitted: July 14, 2026 Decided: July 30, 2026

ORDER

On April 9, 2026, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent a notice of brief delinquency

to the appellant, Karen Hugo, because she had not filed her opening brief by the

April 1, 2026 deadline set by the Court. On May 7, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a

notice, sent by certified mail, to Hugo directing her to show cause why this appeal

should not be dismissed for her failure to file an opening brief. The notice to show

cause was returned to the Court as unclaimed and unable to be forwarded. On June

29, the Chief Deputy Clerk, who had spoken with Hugo, sent the notice via first-

class mail to Hugo’s updated address. A timely response to the notice was due on or

before July 13. To date, Hugo has neither responded to the notice to show cause nor

filed an opening brief. Dismissal of this appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal be DISMISSED

under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b).

BY THE COURT:

/s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr. Chief Justice
