ERFAN ARSANJANI, Plaintiff, v. CLACKAMAS COUNTY ASSESSOR, Defendant.
DECISION OF DISMISSAL
This matter is before the court on its own motion to dismiss this case for lack of prosecution.
A case management conference was scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on May 9, 2012, to consider Plaintiff's appeal. On April 17, 2012, the court sent notice of the scheduled case management conference to 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.
On May 9, 2012, 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 May 23, 2012, for his failure to appear, the court would dismiss the appeal. As of this date, Plaintiff has not submitted a written response to the court explaining his failure to appear at the May 9, 2012, 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 the Complaint is dismissed.
