ORDER

On December 31, 2024, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice, by certified

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

for his failure to file an opening brief by the filing deadline of November 27, 2024.

Postal records showed that no authorized recipient was available to receive the notice

so the notice was re-sent by first class mail on January 21, 2025. A timely response

to the notice to show cause was due by January 31, 2025. To date, the appellant has

not filed an opening brief or responded to the notice to show cause. Dismissal of

this appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2)

and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.

BY THE COURT:

/s/ Gary F. Traynor
Justice
