ORDER

On May 1, 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 file an opening brief by the filing deadline of April 1, 2025. Postal

records show that delivery attempts were unsuccessful and that the notice to show

cause was returned to the Clerk’s Office as not deliverable. On May 19, 2025, the

notice to show cause was re-sent by first class mail. A timely response was due by

May 29, 2025. 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/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr.
Chief Justice
