ESTATE OF PETER N. REUSSWIG, DECEASED, NEIL E. AYERVAIS, SPECIAL ADMINISTRATOR AND EMY N. EIBEN, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes, Judge.
This microcaptive-insurance case is one of an unconsolidated cluster of six, but is the only one of the cluster on the Court's March 6, 2023 trial calendar for Dallas, Texas. It arises from the 2012 tax year, and the parties recently moved for a third continuance. This prompted a phone call with them today, and we learned that they are near settlement. But they reasonably want to close all six cases through a closing agreement. Neither party expects to need discovery and both expect that negotiations will soon bring the drafting of the agreement to an end. With this understanding, we'll move the case to a status-report track and it is
ORDERED that the parties' January 24, 2023 motion for continuance is granted in that this case is stricken from the Court's March 6, 2023 trial calendar for Dallas, Texas. It is also
ORDERED that this division of the Court retains jurisdiction. It is also
ORDERED that on or before May 12, 2023 the parties shall file a status report describing their progress in wrapping up a closing agreement and bringing this case to a close.
