Upon consideration of the notice to show cause, the appellant's response, and the State's reply, it appears to the Court that:
(1) On June 25, 2018, the Court received the appellant Alex Vandyke's notice of appeal from the Family Court's order, dated May 22, 2018 and docketed May 23, 2018, accepting an order of a Family Court Commissioner requiring, among other things, that Vandyke register as a Tier II sex offender. Under Supreme Court Rule 6(a)(i), a timely notice of appeal should have been filed by June 22, 2018, which was thirty days from docketing of the Family Court's order.
(2) The Senior Court Clerk issued a notice directing Vandyke to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed as untimely. Vandyke, through his counsel, filed a response to the notice to show on July 12, 2018. Counsel states that she incorrectly calculated the appeal deadline by relying upon the Family Court's date of mailing the order, which is reflected on the order as May 24, 2018. Counsel requests a remand to the Family Court so that the Family Court may reissue its order.
(3) The State filed a reply to Vandyke's response. The State does not object to counsel's request for a remand to allow the Family Court to vacate its May 22, 2018 order and to reissue it to allow Vandyke the opportunity to file a timely notice of appeal.
(4) We agree that the proper course of action is to remand this matter to the Family Court. Upon remand, the Family Court should vacate its May 22, 2018 order and reissue it in order to permit Vandyke the opportunity to file a timely appeal.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the matter is REMANDED to the Family Court for further action in accordance with this order. Jurisdiction is not retained.
