On March 17, 2023, the Court issued a briefing schedule in this appeal; the

appellant’s opening brief was due by April 18, 2023. The Court later granted the

appellant’s motion for an extension of time to file his brief, ordering that the opening

brief was due by June 20, 2023. On June 21, 2023, Court staff sent a brief

delinquency letter to the appellant. On June 29, 2023, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued

a notice, sent by certified mail, directing the appellant to show cause why this appeal

should not be dismissed for his failure to file an opening brief. On July 7, 2023, the

Court received the certified mail receipt indicating that the notice to show cause had

been delivered. The appellant having failed to respond to the notice to show cause

within the required ten-day period, dismissal of this action is deemed to be

unopposed. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the appeal is DISMISSED under

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