SUSAN C. CRANE & DAVID A. CRANE, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On May 9, 2022, correspondence from or on behalf of petitioners was filed as an imperfect petition to commence the above-docketed case. By Order served May 17, 2022, the Court directed petitioners to file an Amended Petition and to pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee or to submit an Application for Waiver of Filing Fee for consideration. However, the request for filing fee or application for waiver was made in error, insofar as petitioners had already sent a proper Application for Waiver of Filing Fee with the petition.
In view of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that petitioners' just-referenced Application for Waiver of Filing Fee, filed May 9, 2022, is granted, and no further filing fee is due from petitioners. It is further
ORDERED that petitioners are no longer required to comply with the Court's Order served May 17, 2022, to the extent that it directed submission of a filing fee or application for waiver thereof. However, a proper Amended Petition remains necessary and due by July 18, 2022. If no such Amended Petition is received by that date, this case may be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
