Johnson v. Premo
Johnson v. Premo
Opinion of the Court
Petitioner in this post-conviction case appeals an order of the post-conviction court dated June 21, 2016, denying his motion for a protective order. See Brumwell v. Premo, 355 Or 543, 326 P3d 1177 (2014); Longo v. Premo, 355 Or 525, 326 P3d 1152 (2014) (analyzing OEC 504(4)(c)’s breach of duty exception to attorney-client privilege and concluding that a protective order may be necessary in a post-conviction case to prevent disclosure of privileged information to third parties). Petitioner contends, in part, that the post-conviction court had no jurisdiction to enter an order denying the motion because an appeal from a previous order denying the same request was pending at the time the trial court ruled.
Vacated.
Petitioner’s appeal of the post-conviction court’s earlier order denying his request for a protective order is pending in Johnson v. Premo, A160579.
In light of our conclusion that the trial court had no jurisdiction to enter its June 21, 2016, order on the motion for protective order, we do not consider any issues petitioner attempts to raise in his pro se supplemental brief.
