ORDER
On January 31, 2024, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice directing the
appellants to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for their failure to
file an opening brief and appendix by the filing deadline of January 23, 2024 and
their failure to pay the Superior Court appeal preparation fee. Postal records show
that no authorized recipient was available to accept the certified mailing. On
February 16, 2024, the notice to show cause was re-sent by first class mail. A timely
response to the notice to show cause was due by February 26, 2024. To date, the
appellants have not filed an opening brief, paid the Superior Court appeal
preparation fee, or responded to the notice to show cause.1 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
