Batinkov v. Dept. of Revenue, Tc-Md 110111d (or.tax 7-14-2011)

DECISION OF DISMISSAL This matter is before the court on its own motion to dismiss this case for lack of prosecution.

A trial was scheduled at 9:00 a.m. on July 13, 2011, in the Oregon Tax Courtroom, Salem, Oregon to consider Plaintiffs' appeal. On May 3, 2011, the court sent notice of the scheduled trial to Plaintiffs at rbrown@thetaxplace.net, which is the e-mail address Plaintiffs provided to the court. The notice was not returned as undeliverable. The notice advised that if Plaintiffs did not appear, the court might dismiss the appeal.

As of this date, Plaintiffs have not communicated with the court, explaining their failure to appear at the July 13, 2011, trial. Under such circumstances, the court finds the appeal must be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Now, therefore, *Page 2
