SHEENA HUGHES, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge.
This case is before the Court on petitioner's Motion to Proceed Remotely, filed May 15, 2023. However, the motion does not state whether petitioner has discussed the motion with all the parties and/or respondent's position on whether there are any objections to the case proceeding remotely. Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that, on or before November 27, 2023, the parties (i.e., petitioner and respondent) shall confer regarding the status of the case and the parties' views as to the above-referenced pending motion. The Court encourages the parties to cooperate and communicate with their opponent, and prepare this case for trial or other resolution, so that the parties can resolve among themselves any issues that can be resolved without the Court's involvement. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before December 18, 2023, respondent shall file a response to petitioners' above-referenced motion, noting therein any objections, if any, of the granting of the motion. The response should also describe the current progress in the case, what actions the parties have taken to prepare this case for trial or other resolution, and whether the parties have conferred as directed.
