BROWNDALE PLANTATION RESERVE, LLC STUCKEY TIMBERLAND, INC., TAX MATTERS PARTNER, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes, Judge
This conservation-easement case was one of many on the Court's October 24, 2022 trial calendar for Atlanta, Georgia. The parties moved to continue it on August 25, 2022 and we spoke with them before moving it to a pretrial-order track. As the Court's calendar in Atlanta became congested with so many special sessions, everyone's hopes for a trial date this year or even in the first quarter of next year have faded away. We spoke with the parties today and the consensus was for the parties to consult with each other and their teams of witnesses and lawyers and propose a date for a special session next summer, when for now there appears to be some possibility of courtroom space. It is therefore
ORDERED that the December 29, 2022 pretrial order in this case is vacated.
After the parties suggest a new trial date, they may expect an order for them to negotiate a new pretrial order.
