ORDER

On May 20, 2026, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent a notice of brief delinquency

to the appellant, Tristan Peoples, because he had not filed an opening brief by the

May 18 deadline set by the Court. On May 28, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a

notice, sent by certified mail, to Peoples directing him to show cause why this appeal

should not be dismissed for his failure to file an opening brief. Peoples received the

notice on June 2. A timely response to the notice was due on or before June 12. To

date, Peoples has neither responded to the notice to show cause nor filed an opening

brief. Dismissal of this appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed.

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