ORDER

On April 23, 2026, the appellant, Javon Turner, filed a notice of appeal from

the Superior Court’s order, docketed January 13, 2026, denying his motion for

postconviction relief. A timely notice of appeal was due on or before February 12,

2026.1 The Senior Court Clerk issued a notice by certified mail directing Turner to

show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed as untimely filed. Turner

received the notice on April 27. A timely response to the notice to show cause was

due on or before May 7. To date, Turner has not responded to the notice to show

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