Denise J. Goltz Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
ELIZABETH A. COPELAND JUDGE
This case is calendared for trial at the Trial Session of the Court scheduled to commence on April 4, 2022, for cases where Denver, Colorado is the place of Trial.
On February 25, 2022, respondent filed with the Court a Motion for Continuance, (docket index entry No. 17). Respondent's motion had an incorrect signature block. Respondent refiled a Motion for Continuance on March 8, 2022, (docket index entry No. 18), with the correct signature block. Therefore, the Court will strike the February 25, 2022, motion (docket index entry No. 17).
Respondent's motion indicated that Petitioner filed a refund case in the Federal Court of Claims (Case No. 21-2012-T) for tax years 2015 and 2016 which action is still pending and could impact the outcome of this case; the tax year before the Tax Court is 2016. Respondent was unable to contact petitioner to determine whether she objects to the granting of this motion. Likewise, the Court was unable to contact Petitioner. Granting the motion will preserve judicial resources and avoid waste.
After due consideration, and for cause, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion for Continuance, filed February 25, 2022, (docket index entry No. 17), is hereby deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case. It is further
ORDERED that respondent's Motion for Continuance, filed March 8, 2022, (docket index entry No. 18) is granted in that this case is stricken for trial from the April 4, 2022, Denver, Colorado trial calendar and this case is continued generally.
