BRUCE E. COSTA, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
David Gustafson Judge
The Commissioner's status report (Doc. 15) filed March 28, 2022, states that "the parties reached a basis for settlement in this case." The Court appreciates the work reflected in that report. We note that the parties have not yet filed a proposed stipulated decision. It is therefore
ORDERED that if the parties still expect to be able to present a proposed stipulated decision at or before the calendar call of the trial session beginning April 18, 2022, then they need do nothing further in response to this order. But if they do not expect to be able to make such a submission, then no later than Friday, April 15, 2022, they shall either (a) file a status report, a motion for a continuance, or another appropriate filing, or (b) initiate a joint telephone call to the chambers of the judge signing this order (202-521-0850) for the purpose of conducting a telephone conference among the parties and the judge. 1
