Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE NIGEL C. SYKES, § § No. 420, 2015 Defendant Below, § Appellant, § § Court Below—Superior Court v. § of the State of Delaware, § in and for New Castle County, STATE OF DELAWARE, § Cr. ID No. 1012000026 § Plaintiff Below, § Appellee. § Submitted: August 25, 2015 Decided: August 28, 2015 ORDER This 28th day of August 2015, it appears to the Court that, on August 10, 2015, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice to the appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file his notice of appeal within thirty days of the July 8, 2015 docketing of the Superior Court order denying his second motion for postconviction relief. Because the appellant failed to respond to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period, dismissal of this appeal is deemed to be unopposed.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED.

BY THE COURT: /s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr. Chief Justice
