Petitioner Below, §
Appellee. §

Submitted: May 1, 2026
Decided: May 19, 2026

On April 16, 2026, 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 April 2, 2026 filing deadline. Postal records show

that the notice to show cause was delivered on April 20, 2026. A timely response to

the notice to show cause was due by April 30, 2026. 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 that this appeal is DISMISSED under

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