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 April 3, 2008, to consider Plaintiff's appeal. On February 28, 2008, notice of the case management conference was sent to Plaintiff at 3445 Regent Avenue, Eugene OR 97401, 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.
On April 3, 2008, 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 April 17, 2008, for his failure to appear, the court would dismiss the appeal.
On April 4, 2008, Plaintiff called the court. He told court staff that he did not believe the hearing had been necessary since he had already paid the amount due. He stated that he would talk to Defendant and contact the court if he decided to withdraw his appeal. As of today's date, *Page 2
