Or. Admin. R. 350-060-0205 - Dismissal by the Commission
(1) Voluntary dismissal: The Chair of the
Commission shall dismiss an appeal upon motion by the Appellant filed or
expressed orally to the Commission prior to an oral decision. The dismissal
shall be considered with prejudice and shall be effective on the date it is
filed or expressed orally to the Commission.
(2) Involuntary Dismissal: The Chair of the
Commission may dismiss an appeal upon or without motion by any other party when
it appears to the Chair that the Appellant and all intervenors on the side of
the Appellant have failed to prosecute the appeal diligently; when the appeal
is moot, or any other situation in which continuing the case would be
manifestly unjust to the responding parties. The Chair of the Commission shall
send a Notice of Intent to Dismiss stating the facts and reason for dismissal.
The parties shall have 10 days to respond to the notice, unless the Notice of
Intent to Dismiss specifies a longer time.
(3) The Chair of the Commission shall issue
and serve on the parties an order of dismissal, which shall be an appealable
action of the Commission.
(4) When
an appeal is dismissed, the Commission shall make no decision on the merits of
the appeal. In the event that the parties have entered into any settlement
agreement concerning the issues raised in the appeal, the Commission shall not
be bound by any terms of the settlement agreement in the instant or future
matters.
