CYNTHIA AMATO & SAMUEL AMATO, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge.
This case is before the Court on petitioners' Motion to Proceed Remotely, filed May 11, 2023. Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that, on or before September 8, 2023, the parties (i.e., respondent and petitioners) shall confer regarding the status of the case and the parties' views as to the above-referenced pending motion. The Court encourages the parties to cooperate and communicate with their opponent, and to exchange documents and information, and to further develop this case for trial or other resolution, and so that the parties can resolve among themselves any issues that can be resolved without the Court's involvement. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before October 2, 2023, respondent shall file a response to petitioners' motion, noting therein whether the parties have conferred as directed in the preceding paragraph. In that response respondent should also describe the current progress in the case, what actions the parties have taken to prepare this case for trial or other resolution, and noting therein his objections, if any, of the granting of the motion to proceed remotely.
