RICHARD TURNER, Plaintiff v. DOUGLAS COUNTY ASSESSOR, Defendant.
DECISION OF DISMISSAL
JILL A. TANNER PRESIDING MAGISTRATE, JUDGE.
This matter is before the court on Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, filed April 22, 2013, requesting that the Complaint be dismissed.
A case management conference was held May 8, 2013. Plaintiff appeared on his own behalf. Paul E. Meyer (Meyer), Douglas County Counsel, appeared on behalf of Defendant.
During the conference, Meyer explained Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, discussing Plaintiff's property's real market value, maximum assessed value and assessed value, the statutory requirement of aggrievement (Oregon Revised Statute 305.275) and compression. After the discussion, the court stated that because Plaintiff's requested relief (a reduction in real market value), if granted, would not result in a reduction in Plaintiff's property taxes, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss is granted. Now, therefore, IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that this matter be dismissed.
