- What it's about
Vlada Neal challenges an Oregon eviction procedure that requires a court to give a landlord immediate possession of a tenant’s home after the landlord files a declaration that the tenant did not comply with a stipulated order. Under the procedure, the tenant may raise defenses only after the possession judgment has been entered.
Question presented
Whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment permits a State to enter a final judgment awarding immediate possession of a residential tenant’s home upon a private adversary’s ex parte declaration of noncompliance, without adjudicating a timely written objection and hearing request the tenant filed before the judgment was entered?

Briefing
What it's about
Vlada Neal challenges an Oregon eviction process that lets a landlord obtain immediate possession after filing a declaration that a tenant failed to follow a stipulated order. Neal says the tenant should be able to have a court consider a timely objection and hearing request before losing possession.
Argument
The case has not been scheduled for oral argument. Neal argues that Oregon cannot enter the possession judgment before considering a tenant's timely objection and request for a hearing.
Impact
The case could affect tenants facing eviction under stipulated orders in Oregon. For example, a tenant who says she complied with an agreement could lose possession before a court hears that defense.
What is at stake in Neal v. Prime Residential?
The case asks whether a tenant may be removed from a home before a court hears a timely objection to an eviction claim.
Who could be affected by this Oregon eviction case?
Tenants subject to stipulated retention orders could be affected, especially those who say they complied or have another defense to enforcement.
What happens next in Neal v. Prime Residential?
The next step is a Court scheduling move or a decision about whether to hear the case. Oral argument has not been scheduled.
