ORDER
On August 13, 2024, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent a notice of brief delinquency
to the appellant, James Pickett, because he had not filed an opening brief by the
August 9, 2024 deadline set by the Court. On August 22, 2024, the Chief Deputy
Clerk issued a notice, sent by certified mail, to Pickett directing him to show cause
why this appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file an opening brief. The
appellant received the notice on August 27, 2024. A timely response to the notice
was due on or before September 6, 2024. To date, Pickett has neither responded to
the notice to show cause nor filed an opening brief. 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 be DISMISSED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Gary F. Traynor
Justice
