    I am in Oregon. If a person files a law suit against me involving a piece of property can they file a les pendens on a different piece of property I own with the anticipation that they will be getting a judgment against me.

    No. It's "lis pendens", with an "I", not an "e". But the lis pendens can only be filed on the property which is in controversy in the lawsuit. If they file on any other property, and it impairs your ability to sell or mortgage that property, the can be held to be liable to you.
