Clackamas Supp. L. R. SLR 7.055

As amended through June 11, 2024

Rule SLR 7.055 - ABATED AND STAYED CASES

For good cause shown, the Presiding Judge may abate any case upon motion of counsel or upon motion of the court.

(1) Unless prohibited by law, an abated case may be dismissed, without prejudice, for want of prosecution following notice by the court of intent to dismiss pursuant to ORCP 54B(3) two (2) years from the date of removal order if the case has not been removed from abated status or dismissed at an earlier time. A case may be removed from abated status upon motion of counsel or on the court's own motion.

(2) No abated case shall be placed on the trial docket, or be subject to court arbitration or mediation, or have any motion practice conducted during the period of abatement. Parties may proceed with discovery during the period of abatement or inactive status by mutual consent.

(3) A notice of bankruptcy will stay a case pursuant to UTCR 7.050, rather than abate as provided in this section.

(4) Once a case is reinstated to the active trial docket, the case will be assigned a date for trial.
