MARQUES MOORE, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
PATRICK J. URDA JUDGE.
This case was stricken from the Court's April 24, 2023, Denver, Colorado trial session and jurisdiction was retained by the undersigned.
On July 17, 2023, counsel for petitioner, Nicholas J. Richards, Sabrina L. Strand and Keith E. Buckley, filed a motion to withdraw as counsel. The Court subsequently directed petitioner Marques Moore to file an objection, if any, to the motion to withdraw as counsel by August 23, 2023. Mr. Moore did not file an objection in this case.
After further review of the motion to withdraw as counsel, it appears that Keith E. Buckley did not properly sign the motion per Rule 23(a) of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. In lieu of a signature for Mr. Buckley, the typewritten sentence of "[n]o longer with Greenspoon and Marder, LLP" appears on the signature line. We will therefore grant the motion in part and deny it in part. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the motion to withdraw as counsel is granted in part, in that Nicholas J. Richards and Sabrina L. Strand are hereby withdrawn as counsel for petitioner in this case and denied in part with respect to Keith E. Buckley.
