This 15th day of February 2018, it appears to the Court that the Clerk issued a
notice to show cause directing the appellant to show cause why the above-captioned

in forma pauperis or to pay the filing fee associated with the appeal. The appellant
has not responded to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period.

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