		MEMORANDUM OPINION

		This is a proceeding for judicial review of a ballot

title certified by the Attorney General for a proposed initiative

measure.  See ORS 250.085 (providing procedure for judicial

review of ballot title).  The parties agree that notice of

petitioner's challenge to the Attorney General's certified ballot

title was not given to the Secretary of State within the time

provided in ORS 250.085(4).  This court therefore has no

authority to review the ballot title, and the petition must be

dismissed.  Sizemore v. Myers, 327 Or 71, ___ P2d ___ (1998).

 	Petition for judicial review of ballot title

dismissed.(1)

1. 	In light of this court's dismissal of this case, the

Attorney General's motion to dismiss is moot.
