Lowes v. First National Bank
Lowes v. First National Bank
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND OPINION
This matter is before the Court on the defendants’ motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, for a summary judgment in defendants’ favor.
With exceptions not here applicable,
The plaintiff’s present claim of incompetence at the time of the previous adjudication does not detract from the plea of res judicata, nor does it permit a collateral attack. Bobell v. Wagenaar, 106 Or. 232, 210 P. 711 (1923), 34 A.L.R. 221-223, supplemented 140 A.L.R. 1336, 1337.
Plaintiff’s claim for care, support and maintenance of Lillian Ruth Lowes was never presented to the executor for allowance.
2 Jaureguy and Love, § 672, page 117, states the rule as follows: “With certain exceptions hereinafter noted, all creditors of a deceased must present their claims, whether arising out of tort, contract or otherwise, to the executor or administrator before the filing of the final account; otherwise the claim or obligation will be forever barred by what is commonly referred to as the ‘Statute of Non-Claim’.” Plaintiff’s pleading does not fall within any of the exceptions noted. Supporting the text are Security Trust Co. v. Black River National Bank, 187 U.S. 211, 23 S.Ct. 52, 47 L.Ed. 147 (1902), Brown v. Drake, 103 Or. 607, 609, 205 P. 1002, 210 P. 710 (1922), First National Bank of Portland v. Connolly, 172 Or. 434, 481, 138 P.2d 613, 143 P.2d 243 (1943). This state statutory bar is properly applied by a federal
The foregoing shall serve as my findings and conclusions. Defendants’ motion for a summary judgment should be allowed.
It is so ordered.

. ORS 121.090.
