Troy Austin Pickard, Respondent, v. BHATTACHARYYA (2020)

Appellant petitions for reconsideration of our opinion in Jones v. Bhattacharyya, 305 Or. App. 503, 471 P.3d 135 (2020), asking that we clarify our opinion to address the first assignment of error that she raised in her opening brief. We allow reconsideration and modify the text of our prior opinion in two ways. First, we insert the following footnote at the end of the first paragraph:

“Appellant also assigns error to the trial court's denial of her subsequent motion for satisfaction of the supplemental judgment. However, the trial court did not reach the merits of that motion; instead, the court denied it as a motion for reconsideration that was impermissible under local rules. On appeal, appellant does not make any argument that the trial court erred in characterizing her motion for satisfaction as a motion for reconsideration. Thus, our reversal and remand of the trial court's order denying appellant's first-in-time motion eliminates the need for us to further consider the trial court's denial of appellant's second motion. Accordingly, we do not address whether the trial court erred when it concluded that appellant's motion was an impermissible motion for reconsideration.”

Second, we modify the text of the last paragraph of our prior opinion before the disposition to read as follows (emphasis denotes added language):

“This case demonstrates why the statute requires notice. Here, respondent had a lien under ORS 87.445 on the supplemental judgment entered in his client's favor. However, he did not claim the right to enforce that lien by filing a statutorily compliant notice until over a month after the judgment issued. In the interim, appellant issued a check for the full amount of the judgment to the listed judgment creditor, which allowed her to satisfy the judgment under its unaltered terms, and respondent cannot now seek to enforce his lien on that judgment against appellant. The trial court therefore erred when it denied appellant's motion to challenge the garnishment.”

Reconsideration allowed; former opinion modified and adhered to as modified.
