DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE,
State of Oregon,
FINAL DECISION OF DISMISSAL1
Defendant.
This matter came before the court on its own motion to dismiss this case for lack of
prosecution.
Following the case management conference on July 5, 2017, the court issued a Journal
Entry memorializing the parties’ agreement to follow a schedule for submitting filings to the
court. By July 12, 2017, Plaintiff was to file its returns with Defendant for the second and third
quarters of 2016. Defendant then was to file its written recommendations with the court by
July 26, 2017, and Plaintiff’s response was due no later than August 2, 2017.
On August 7, 2017, after the parties’ deadlines had passed, a court staff member called
Defendant and left a voicemail requesting that the court be provided with a status report.
On August 18, 2017, after receiving no response or further communication from either
party, the court issued an Order requiring Plaintiff to file a written status report, copy to
Defendant, within 14 days of the date of the Order. The Order further advised that failure to
comply with the deadline set forth therein would result in dismissal of Plaintiff’s appeal.
1 This Final Decision of Dismissal incorporates without change the court’s Decision of Dismissal, entered
September 6, 2017. The court did not receive a statement of costs and disbursements within 14 days after its
Decision of Dismissal was entered. See Tax Court Rule–Magistrate Division (TCR–MD) 16 C(1).
