CARRIE M. SHEKER, Plaintiff, v. CLATSOP COUNTY ASSESSOR and DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, State of Oregon, Defendants.
FINAL DECISION OF DISMISSAL
This Final Decision of Dismissal incorporates without change the court's Decision of Dismissal entered December 18, 2014. The court did not receive a request for an award of costs and disbursements within 14 days after its Decision of Dismissal was entered. See TCR-MD 16.
This matter is before the court on its own motion to dismiss this case for lack of prosecution.
A case management conference was scheduled at 9:00 a.m. on December 1, 2014, to consider Plaintiff's appeal. On November 6, 2014, the court sent notice of the scheduled case management conference to Plaintiff at the email address Plaintiff provided to the court. The notice was not returned as undeliverable. The notice advised that if Plaintiff did not appear, the court might dismiss the appeal. Plaintiff failed to appeal for the December 1, 2014, case management conference.
On December 1, 2014, the court sent Plaintiff a letter which explained the importance of diligently pursuing an appeal. That letter was not returned as undeliverable. The letter advised that if Plaintiff did not provide a written explanation by December 15, 2014, for her failure to appear, the court would dismiss the appeal. As of this date, Plaintiff has not submitted a written response to the court explaining her failure to appear at the December 1, 2014, case management conference. Under such circumstances, the court finds the appeal must be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Now, therefore,
IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that this matter is dismissed.
Dated this ___ day of January 2015.
