ORDER
On June 23, 2021, the appellant, Phil Galer-Capp, filed this appeal from a
Family Court Commissioner’s entry of a protection from abuse order. On June 25,
2021, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice, by certified mail, directing Galer-Capp
to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for this Court’s lack of
jurisdiction to consider an appeal directly from a Family Court Commissioner’s
order. Galer-Capp received the notice to show cause on June 29, 2021. A timely
response to the notice to show cause was due on or before July 9, 2021. To date,
Galer-Capp has not responded to the notice to show cause. Dismissal of this appeal
is therefore deemed to be unopposed.
