DECISION OF DISMISSAL
This matter is before the court on Defendant's motion to dismiss (motion), filed December 10, 2007, as part of its Answer, requesting that the Complaint be dismissed.
A case management conference was held on February 5, 2008, to discuss Defendant's motion. Dyana S. Eide appeared on her own behalf. Linnea Wittekind, tax auditor, appeared for Defendant.
Defendant contends that Plaintiff filed her appeal 112 days after the date of the Notice of Deficiency Assessment (Notice), dated August 9, 2007. Plaintiff stated she was unaware of the filing deadline. During the conference, Plaintiff acknowledged that she postmarked her Complaint to the court November 29, 2007, which is more than 90 days after the date the Defendant's Notice became final. See ORS 305.280(2) (2005);McDowell v. Dept. of Rev., TC-MD No 050812C (Nov 28, 2005) (citing ORS305.280(2) and holding that taxpayer's appeal filed three days after the statutory deadline must be dismissed). *Page 2 
Because Plaintiff acknowledges that the Complaint was filed after the statutory deadline, the court grants Defendant's motion. Now, therefore,
IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that this matter be dismissed.
