Tamara W. Ashford, Judge.
On September 8 and 12, 2023, pursuant to the Court's June 15, 2023, Order, respondent's counsel and petitioners' counsel respectively filed a Status Report, apprising the Court of the then present status of this case. Both counsel report the same as what they reported in a June 5, 2023 Joint Status Report, i.e. that (1) petitioners are working with the Internal Revenue Service Independent Office of Appeals (Appeals) to reach a basis for settlement to resolve this case and the cases that are related to it (Dkt. Nos. 24208-21, 24546-21, and 26396-21); (2) in the event that petitioners do not reach a basis for settlement with Appeals, counsel will work with each other to reach a basis for settlement in this case and the related cases once the cases are transferred back to respondent's counsel's jurisdiction; and (3) if petitioners do not reach a basis for settlement with respondent's counsel, the parties will prepare this case and the related cases for trial. Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that the parties shall, on or before December 12, 2023, electronically submit to the Court an agreed stipulated decision document or file status reports, separately or jointly, apprising the Court of the then present status of this case.
