DECISION OF DISMISSAL
This matter is before the court on its own motion to dismiss this case for want of
prosecution.
A case management conference was scheduled on July 30, 2009, to consider Plaintiff’s
appeal. On June 11, 2009, notice of the case management conference was sent to Plaintiff at at
6125 SE Malden Street, Portland, OR 97206, which was the address Plaintiff provided to the
court. The notice was not returned as undeliverable. Plaintiff did not appear at the case
management conference, and there was no explanation for Plaintiff’s failure to appear.
On July 30, 2009, the court sent Plaintiff a letter, which explained the importance of
diligently pursuing an appeal. That letter was not returned as undeliverable. The letter advised
that if Plaintiff did not provide a written explanation by August 13, 2009, for his failure to
appear, the court would dismiss the appeal. As of this date, Plaintiff has not contacted the court.
Under such circumstances, the court finds the appeal must be dismissed for want of prosecution.
Now therefore,
