CLACKAMAS COUNTY ASSESSOR, Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) No. 001201B DECISION This matter is before the court on its own motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of jurisdiction. A case management conference was convened on April 16, 2001. Rhonda Swearingen participated on her own behalf; Joe Honl represented the defendant. Plaintiff is concerned that her mortgage company increased the monthly deduction for her property s tax escrow account. This was (apparently) in reaction to a one-time charge as a result of certain mandatory clerical error corrections made in May of 2000. Plaintiff s issue is better directed to the mortgage company; the defendant s representative has assisted in those efforts and pledged further cooperation. Plaintiff does not timely raise any concerns as to the current year s real market or assessed values as determined by defendant. After considering the record, the court finds the motion should be granted. The complaint does not allege facts which bring the claims within the specialized jurisdiction of this court. See ORS 305.410. Now, therefore, IT IS THE DECISION OF THE COURT that the appeal is hereby dismissed. Dated this ____ day of May, 2001.
