    Joseph J. Bevilacqua, M.D., Director of Mental Health, Retardation and Hospitals v. Anthony Silva.
    
      Paul J. Pisano, for plaintiff. Carmine A. Rao, Mental Health Advocate, for defendant.
   The above-entitled matter came on to be heard on February 6, 1978, to show cause why it should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution for failure to comply with Rule 16 of the Rhode Island Supreme Court.

No cause having been shown, the defendant’s appeal is hereby dismissed.
