Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

ELIJAH MISSIMER, § § No. 250, 2025 Defendant Below, § Appellant, § Court Below–Superior Court § of the State of Delaware v. § § Cr. ID No. 2012007225 (N) STATE OF DELAWARE, § § Appellee. §

Submitted: September 5, 2025 Decided: September 15, 2025

ORDER

On August 6, 2025, the Senior Court Clerk sent a notice of brief delinquency

to the appellant, Elijah Missimer, because he had not filed an opening brief by the

July 31, 2025 deadline set by the Court. On August 18, 2025, the Chief Deputy

Clerk issued a notice, sent by certified mail, to Missimer directing him to show cause

why this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file an opening brief. 1

Missimer received the notice, as evidenced by the return receipt filed with the Court

on August 25, 2025. A timely response to the notice was due on or before September

4, 2025. To date, Missimer has neither responded to the notice to show cause nor

filed an opening brief. Dismissal of this appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed.

1 Missimer also failed to pay the Supreme Court filing fee or file a motion and affidavit to proceed in forma pauperis. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED

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

BY THE COURT:

/s/ N. Christopher Griffiths Justice
