ORDER
This 6th day of November 2017, it appears to the Court that:
(1) On October 4, 2017, the Clerk issued a notice directing the appellant,
Leslie Werth, to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for Werth’s
failure to pay the Family Court record preparation fee. Werth was advised that her
failure to respond to the notice to show cause would result in the dismissal of the
appeal as unopposed.
(2) Werth’s response to the notice to show cause was due no later than
October 23, 2017. Werth did not file a response and has not paid the Family Court’s
record preparation fee. Also, despite receiving this Court’s brief delinquency notice,

The Court assigned pseudonyms to the parties under Supreme Court Rule 7(d).
Werth did not file her opening brief, which was due on October 2, 2017. Under
these circumstances, dismissal of Werth’s appeal is deemed to be unopposed.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2)
and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
