ID No. 2007012634 (N) STATE OF DELAWARE, § § Appellee. § Submitted: May 30, 2025 Decided: June 20, 2025 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
