                                          ORDER

         The Court issued a notice to the appellant to show cause why this appeal

should not be dismissed for the appellant’s failure to file his opening brief and

appendix. The appellant was served with the notice to show cause on February 5,

2018. He failed to respond within the required ten-day period. Thus, dismissal of

this appeal is 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:
