ORDER
On July 15, 2026, the Court denied the appellant’s motion to proceed in forma
pauperis. The Clerk’s office then directed the appellant to pay the filing fee by July
30 or a notice to show cause would issue. The appellant did not pay the fee, and the
Clerk’s office issued a notice, by certified mail, directing the appellant to show cause
why this appeal should not be dismissed. The appellant received the notice by
August 31, 2026. The appellant has failed to respond to the notice to show cause or
to pay the filing fee, and dismissal of this action therefore is deemed to be
unopposed.
