ORDER
This 12th day of July 2017, it appears to the Court that, on May 4, 2017, the
Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice directing the appellant to show cause why this
appeal should not be dismissed for her failure to file an opening brief and appendix
by the April 23, 2017 deadline. In response, the appellant stated that she had a new
address and asked for more time to file her opening brief. In a letter dated June 6,
2017, the Senior Court Clerk informed the appellant that the Court would hold the
notice to show cause in abeyance pending receipt of her opening brief, which was
now due by July 6, 2017. The appellant was informed that if her brief was not filed
by the new deadline, the Court would deem dismissal of her appeal as unopposed.
1 The Court previously assigned pseudonyms to the parties under Supreme Court Rule 7(d).
The appellant failed to her opening brief. Dismissal of this appeal, therefore, is
deemed to be unopposed.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)
and 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
BY THE COURT:
Collins J. Seitz, Jr.
Justice
