INFORMATION ON FILING A PETITION FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW (Board of Parole and PostPrison Supervision) In response to your request, we have enclosed information on how to file a petition for judicial review and the forms necessary to do so. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Please understand that filing and pursuing a case with the appellate court is technical legal work. Read all of these instructions, completely and carefully, because you must follow the relevant Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) and the Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure (ORAP). We strongly urge you to consider use of an attorney to help you with your case. The Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, or Appellate Court Administrator's Office cannot change the rules for you because you act as your own lawyer. You will have to follow all the rules and meet all deadlines, without exception. Provisions of ORS Chapter 144 apply generally to Board of Parole and PostPrison Supervision (BOP) cases. ORS 144.335 applies specifically to appellate court review of orders issued by the BOP. ORAP 4.05 to 4.40 apply to Court of Appeals review of administrative agency cases in general. If you are financially eligible, you are entitled to be represented by counsel provided by the Public Defense Service Commission, usually the Legal Services Division of the Office of Public Defense Services. ORS 144.337. If you wish to proceed without an attorney, you may wish to access the ORS or ORAP online at courts.oregon.gov. From there, choose "Materials and Resources" then "Court Rules" and choose either the ORS or the ORAP. The ORS and ORAP are also available in law libraries and some public libraries. Or you may send a written request for a copy of the ORAP that includes your name and address, along with a check for $13.00 for an unbound version, or $26.00 for a bound version, to: ATTN: Publications Section Appellate Court Administrator Supreme Court Building 1163 State Street Salem, OR 973012563 If you need additional information about procedures, you may call the Records Section at 5039865555, however, while the staff can try to answer procedural questions and help you understand the rules, they cannot provide legal advice. In other words, they will not substitute in any way for a lawyer's assistance. American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com 2. Generally, you will not be able to introduce new evidence to the appellate court. The court will review the record (testimony, documents, legal argument) that was received into the agency record. 3. Motions: A "motion" is any request by a party that the court take some action. All motions must be served on the adverse party and the adverse party has 14 days from the date a motion is filed to serve a response. A response allows the court to consider the adverse party's point of view in deciding what action to take concerning the motion. See ORAP 7.05 to 7.30 for rules concerning motions. ORAP 7.30 lists the motions that toll the time for filing the next event. Failure to file a response to a motion usually results in the motion being granted. The court will usually issue a decision on a motion in the form of a written order. WHERE TO FILE If you wish to seek review of an order of the Board of Parole and PostPrison Supervision, you must first seek administrative review of that order with the BOP within 45 days of the date the order was mailed. ORS 144.335(1)(b); OAR 2550800005. After the board rules on your request for administrative review, you may file a petition for judicial review with the Court of Appeals. A form for a petition for judicial review, and instructions on how to fill it out, are included in this packet. To request judicial review of a BOP decision, you must file an original petition for judicial review with the Court of Appeals by submitting it to the following address: ATTN: Records Section Appellate Court Administrator Supreme Court Building 1163 State Street Salem, OR 973012563 WHEN TO FILE A petition for judicial review from a BOP order must be filed within 60 days of the date the administrative review response was mailed to you. Most BOP orders contain a notice of judicial review rights, including the time within which a petition for judicial review must be filed. Unless a petition for judicial review is filed and served within the time required by statute, the Court of Appeals will not be able to consider your case. "Filed" means that the petition must either 1) be in the possession of the Office of the Appellate Court Administrator on or before the date it is due, or 2) it must be mailed by certified or registered mail on or before the date it is due, with proof from the United States Post Office of such mailing date. See ORS 19.260(1) and ORAP 1.35. (If you choose option 2, be sure to retain the proof of mailing, because you may be asked to send it in if the timeliness of your appeal is ever questioned). "Served" means that an exact copy of the original document(s) that is being filed at the Court of Appeals, is mailed or personally delivered to all other necessary parties and participants according to the applicable statutes.
