Zenepe Cifligu, Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes Judge.
The lower-numbered case was on the Court's April 4, 2022 trial calendar for Los Angeles, California. The parties reported that one of petitioner's later tax years was starting up and that it would be efficient to get both years on the same track. This made sense, and we consolidated them in November and put them on a status-report track. They recently reported that both cases are currently at IRS Appeals, but progress ground to a stop when the appeals officer had a health emergency. They remain optimistic that they will be able to settle, however, and it is
ORDERED that on or before May 20. 2024 the parties shall submit decision documents or file a joint status report that describes their progress in settling these cases or narrowing the issues to be tried.
