ORDER

On November 27, 2024, the Court denied the appellant’s motion to proceed

without paying the Court’s filing fee. The Clerk’s office directed the appellant to

pay the fee by December 11, 2024, or a notice to show cause would issue. On

December 12, 2024, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice, sent by certified mail,

directing the appellant to show cause why the Court should not dismiss the appeal

for the appellant’s failure to diligently prosecute the appeal by paying the filing fee.

The appellant received the notice on December 14, 2024. The appellant has neither

responded to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period nor paid

the filing fee. Dismissal of this appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed.

The Court previously assigned pseudonyms to the parties under Supreme Court Rule 7(d).
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)

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