TAYLOR CHARLES [1], Respondent Below, Appellant, v. ABIGAIL CHARLES, Petitioner Below, Appellee.
Submitted: February 7, 2023
Court Below-Family Court of the State of Delaware File Nos. CK17-01606, CK17-01607 Petition Nos. 21-23983, 21-23990
ORDER
COLLINS J. SEITZ, JR. CHIEF JUSTICE
On December 2, 2022, the appellant, Taylor Charles, filed a notice of appeal from the Family Court's decision rescinding her guardianship of two of her grandchildren. The Senior Court Clerk directed Charles to pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis by January 11, 2023. Charles did not pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. On January 24, 2023, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice, by certified mail, directing Charles to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for her failure to pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Postal records show delivery of the notice to show cause on January 26, 2023. A timely response to the notice to show cause was due on or before February 6, 2023. To date, Charles has not responded to the notice to show cause, paid the filing fee, or filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. 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 this appeal is DISMISSED.
