DECISION OF DISMISSAL
This matter is before the court on Defendant's motion to dismiss (motion), filed March 12, 2008, as part of its Answer, requesting that the Complaint be dismissed.
A case management conference was held on Wednesday, April 9, 2008, to discuss Defendant's motion. Robert Wiegand (Plaintiff) appeared on behalf of Plaintiffs. Nancy Grigorieff, Certified Public Accountant and Tax Auditor, appeared on behalf of Defendant.
Defendant stated that Plaintiffs filed their appeal 91 days after the date of the Notice of Refund Denial (Notice), dated November 13, 2007. During the conference, Plaintiff acknowledged that Plaintiffs postmarked their Complaint February 12, 2008, which is 91 days after the date of Defendant's Notice. See ORS 305.280(2) (2007); McDowell v. Dept. ofRev., TC-MD No 050812C (November 28, 2005) (citing ORS 305.280(2) and holding that taxpayer's appeal filed three days after the statutory deadline must be dismissed). *Page 2
