Federal Court Practice in the District of Oregon
Sara Yen of Lake Oswego, OR practices within the geographic jurisdiction of the District of Oregon (DOR), the United States district court that hears civil and criminal matters arising from Portland, OR and the surrounding territory comprising the DOR.
The principal courthouse for the DOR is located at 1000 SW Third Avenue, Portland, OR 97204 (official court website). Filings in this district are subject to the district's local civil and criminal rules in addition to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Sara Yen's entertainment practice in the DOR typically involves matters governed by the district's entertainment caseload, including pretrial motion practice, discovery scheduling under the district's standing orders, and trial proceedings before an Article III district judge or a magistrate judge by consent of the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
Appellate Path: Ninth Circuit
Adverse rulings from federal trial courts in Oregon are reviewable on direct appeal by the Ninth Circuit, sitting in San Francisco, CA. Sara Yen's federal practice may include direct merits appeals under Fed. R. App. P. 4, petitions for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc under Fed. R. App. P. 35 and 40, and — in qualifying matters — petitions for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States under Sup. Ct. R. 10.
Federal appellate practice differs materially from state-court appellate practice: briefing length, standards of review (de novo, clear error, abuse of discretion, plain error), and oral-argument allotments are governed by the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the Ninth Circuit's local circuit rules. Entertainment appeals from the DOR are docketed at the Ninth Circuit and decided either after oral argument or on the briefs depending on the panel's screening determination.
What Entertainment Practice Looks Like in Oregon
A entertainment matter in DOR typically begins with a complaint, indictment, or petition that triggers strict deadlines under the applicable federal rules. Sara Yen guides clients through each procedural milestone — initial disclosures, scheduling conferences, dispositive motions, discovery cutoffs, and pretrial conference orders — that distinguish DOR practice from analogous state-court litigation in Oregon.
