Oregon Supreme Court

Barry Joe Stull, Petitioner on Review v. Mary M. Hoke, Nancy C. Antal and Brownstein, Rask, Sweeny, Grim, Kerr &…

November 14, 1997326 Or. 72

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court held that a civil action filed by an indigent incarcerated plaintiff commences when the complaint is received by the court clerk, not when the fee‑deferral is granted, and affirmed that the plaintiff had preserved the issue for appellate review, resulting in a partial reversal and remand of the Court of Appeals decision.
