ORDER

On December 18, 2023 and January 9, 2024, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a

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

for his failure to file an opening brief and appendix by the filing deadline of

November 30, 2023. Postal records show that the notice to show cause was delivered

by January 18, 2024. A timely response to the notice to show cause was due by

January 29, 2024. 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/ N. Christopher Griffiths
Justice
