TC 5107

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S
MOTION FOR ORDER OF DEFAULT
This matter comes before the court on Plaintiff's Motion for Order of Default and Benton County Assessor's response to the motion. After reviewing the motion and response and being fully advised of the premises, the court finds that such request should be denied. This matter arose under the property tax laws of the state, and a party other than a county appealed the decision of the magistrate. Therefore, pursuant to ORS 305.501(5)(c) "the Department of Revenue shall be the defendant." (Emphases added.) Now, therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Order of Default is denied; and
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the caption of this matter shall remain as above unless and until Benton County Assessor intervenes pursuant to Tax Court Rule (TCR) 33.
