Charles did not pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. On January 24, 2023, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice, by certified mail, directing Charles to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for her failure to pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
