JOSEPH B. STURZINGER and CAROLYN C. STURZINGER, Plaintiffs v. DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, State of Oregon, Defendant.
DECISION OF DISMISSAL
ALLISON R. BOOMER MAGISTRATE, JUDGE.
This matter is before the court on its own motion to dismiss this case for lack of prosecution.
On June 29, 2012, the court sent the parties a Journal Entry instructing Plaintiffs to file a written status report within 14 days of the Journal Entry. The Journal Entry advised that failure to comply with the deadlines set forth therein might result in dismissal of Plaintiffs' appeal. Members of the court's operations team telephoned Plaintiffs on August 1, 2012, and again on August 30, 2012. As of the date of this Decision, Plaintiffs have not responded to the court's Journal Entry or the telephone calls.
Plaintiffs' deadline has passed and the court has not received the Plaintiffs' written status report or any further communication from Plaintiffs. As a consequence, the court finds this matter should be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Now, therefore, IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that this matter is dismissed.
