This 12th day of September 2016, it appears to the Court that, on July 26, 2016, the petitioner, purportedly on behalf of his son, filed a petition for issuance of a writ of mandamus to the lawyer and law firm representing his son in Family Court proceedings On July 26, 2016, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice directing the petitioner and his son to show cause why this petition should not be dismissed for this Court’s lack of jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus to a lawyer or law flrm. 2 On August 23, 2016, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent the notice to another address for the petitioner. No response to the notice to show cause Was received within the required ten-day period and therefore dismissal of this appeal is

deemed to be unopposed.

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