Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

LEO WATSON, § § No. 3, 2023 Defendant Below, § Appellant, § § Court Below–Superior Court v. § of the State of Delaware § STATE OF DELAWARE, § § Cr. ID No. 1609003416 (N) Appellee. § §

Submitted: January 20, 2023 Decided: January 27, 2023

ORDER

On January 4, 2023, the appellant, Leo Watson, filed a notice of appeal from

the Superior Court’s order—dated November 28, 2022, and docketed November 29,

2022—denying Watson’s motion for sentence modification. The Senior Court Clerk

issued, by certified mail, a notice directing Watson to show cause why his appeal

should not be dismissed as untimely filed. 1 Watson received the notice to show

cause on January 9, 2023. A timely response to the notice to show cause was due

on or before January 19, 2023. To date, Watson has not responded to the notice to

show cause. Dismissal of the appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed.

1 Supreme Court Rule 6(a) provides that appeals must be filed within thirty days. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court

Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.

BY THE COURT:

/s/ Karen L. Valihura Justice
