ORDER
It appears to the Court that, on July 22, 2020, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued
a notice, sent by certified mail, to the appellant, David Hamilton, to show cause why
his appeal should not be dismissed for his failure to file his opening brief and
appendix. Hamilton received the notice to show cause, as evidenced by the return
receipt that was filed with the Court on July 30, 2020. A timely response to the
notice to show cause was due on or before August 10, 2020. Hamilton has not
responded to the notice to show cause nor has he filed an opening brief. Dismissal
of the appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2)
and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr.
Chief Justice
