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 held in this matter on May 18, 2011, during which the parties agreed to a schedule by which to exchange and review information. On May 20, 2011, the court sent the parties a Journal Entry memorializing the deadlines agreed upon by the parties. That Journal Entry warned that Plaintiff's failure to comply with the deadlines set forth therein would result in dismissal of Plaintiff's appeal.
As agreed upon by the parties, Defendant filed written recommendations on June 22, 2011. Defendant stated that "Plaintiff provided a Record of Account from the IRS and a cancelled check in the amount of $2,439 written out to the United States Treasury on July 28, 2009." (Def's Recommendation at 1.) Defendant requested that "the Notice of Assessment of Deficiency dated March 15, 2011[,] be upheld. The cancelled check provided proved that Plaintiff paid the IRS, not the Oregon Department of Revenue." (Id.)
As stated in the May 20, 2011, Journal Entry, Plaintiff was to respond in writing to Defendant's Recommendation, stating whether "Defendant's recommendations are accepted in full or in part; Plaintiff's appeal is withdrawn; or a trial is requested." As of the date of this *Page 2
