Appellee. §

Submitted: December 2, 2025
Decided: December 16, 2025

On October 31, 2025, 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 pay the filing fee or a motion and affidavit to proceed in forma pauperis.

Postal records show that the notice to show cause was delivered by November 17,

2025. A timely response to the notice to show cause was due by December 1, 2025.

To date, the appellant has not paid the filing fee or a motion and affidavit to proceed

in forma pauperis. 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/ Gary F. Traynor
Justice
