2010Relator replies that, consistently with State ex rel Osborne v. Cook, 185 Or App 317, 325 , 59 P3d 531 (2002), a motion to dismiss an alternative writ of mandamus is the functional equivalent of a motion to dismiss a claim under ORCP 21 A(8) for failure to state a claim and that this court will not consider an argument made for the first time on appeal as an alternative basis for affirmance of a trial court’s dismissal of an alternative writ.

Poddar v. Clatsop County green
orctapp · 2000
1 sentence

2005Nonetheless, we concluded that, despite the defendant's abandonment of its justiciability argument on appeal, we were obliged to address the issue on our own "because it affect[ed] the trial court's jurisdiction to enter the judgments." Id. at 164, 2 P.3d 929 . [3] Thus, where a defendant brings a motion to dismiss a claim for declaratory relief for failure to state a claim on the ground that the claim is not justiciable, the defendant is, in fact, asserting that the trial court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, which presents an issue under ORCP 21 A(1) rather than ORCP 21 A(8).
