Designation and Assignment of Benton and Linn County Cases

Wednesday, September 24, 2025

On September 24, 2025new cases bearing Benton County and Linn County designations shall be assigned to judges sitting in Portland. Such cases shall be incorporated into the biennial case assignment rotation for the Portland judges, together with cases designated to Bend as well as Marion, Polk, and Lincoln Counties. Pending cases in Benton and Linn Counties shall remain assigned to the Eugene judge. Notwithstanding this reassignment, all new Benton County and Linn County cases shall continue to carry the “6” office designation associated with the Eugene Divisional Office. This adjustment is intended to ensure an equal pro rata distribution of cases among the four bankruptcy judges.
