Thompson v. Dept. of Revenue, Tc-Md 101335b (or.tax 4-22-2011) ( 2011 )

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

A case management conference was scheduled at 9:00 a.m. on March 29, 2011, to consider Plaintiffs' appeal. On March 15, 2011, the court sent notice of the scheduled case management conference to Plaintiffs' authorized representative, Fred Rone (Rone), at 3512 Table Rock Road, Medford, OR 97504, which is the address Rone provided to the court. The notice was not returned as undeliverable. The notice advised that if Rone did not appear, the court might dismiss the appeal.

On March 29, 2011, the court sent Rone a letter which explained the importance of diligently pursuing an appeal. That letter was not returned as undeliverable. The letter advised that if Rone did not provide a written explanation by April 12, 2011, for his failure to appear, the court would dismiss the appeal. As of this date, Rone has not submitted a written response to the court explaining his failure to appear at the March 29, 2011, case management conference. Under such circumstances, the court finds the appeal must be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Now, therefore,

IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that the Complaint is dismissed.
