JOHN DAVID BLACK, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Cary Douglas Pugh, Judge
This case was stricken from the Court's February 28, 2022, San Diego, California trial session and continued, and jurisdiction was retained by this Division of the Court. In our April 22, 2022 Order we stated that respondent may file a motion for leave to file an amended answer and lodge amended answer by May 23, 2022, and that petitioner may file an objection or other response to respondent's motion for leave within 30 days of the date the motion is filed. On May 23, 2022, respondent filed a Motion for Leave to File First Amended Answer and lodged a First Amended Answer. To date, petitioner has not filed an objection or other response as directed in our April 22, 2022 Order. Upon due consideration and for cause, it is hereby
ORDERED that respondent's Motion for Leave to File First Amended Answer, filed May 23, 2022, is granted, and respondent's First Amended Answer, lodged May 23, 2022, is filed as of the date of this Order. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction is not longer retained by this Division of the Court, and this case is returned to the general docket for trial or other disposition. 1
