LUKE-DORF, INC., Plaintiff, v. WASHINGTON COUNTY ASSESSOR, Defendant.
This Final Decision of Dismissal incorporates without change the court's Decision of Dismissal, entered April 18, 2018. 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).
ALLISON R. BOOMER, MAGISTRATE
This matter came before the court on its own motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution. At the case management conference held February 15, 2018, Plaintiff agreed to file a status report by March 19, 2018. That agreement was memorialized in a Journal Entry, issued February 16, 2018, which warned that Plaintiff's appeal might be dismissed if Plaintiff failed to respond. Plaintiff failed to file a status report or otherwise communicate with the court by the March 19, 2018, deadline.
On March 27, 2018, the court issued an Order directing Plaintiff to file a status report within 14 days. That Order warned that Plaintiff's appeal would be dismissed if Plaintiff failed to respond. The 14-day period for Plaintiff's response has passed, and the court has not received any further communication from Plaintiff. Under such circumstances, dismissal is appropriate. Now, therefore, IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that Plaintiff's appeal be dismissed.
