ORDER
On May 28, 2026, the Chief Deputy Clerk sent a notice of brief delinquency
to the appellant, Derrick Legree, because he had not filed an opening brief by the
May 25 deadline set by the Court. On June 9, the Chief Deputy Clerk issued a notice,
sent by certified mail, directing Legree to show cause why this appeal should not be
dismissed for his failure to file an opening brief. Legree received the notice by June
16. To date, Legree has neither responded to the notice to show cause nor filed an
opening brief. 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 the appeal is DISMISSED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ N. Christopher Griffiths
Justice
