Lea T. Jacobs Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Elizabeth A. Copeland, Judge
By Order dated May 26, 2021, the Court directed petitioner Lea T. Jacobs, on or before August 24, 2021, to provide respondent's counsel with necessary substantiation documents pertaining to her case for respondent's review; and, for the parties, on or before September 23, 2021, to file a status report as to the then present status of this case.
The Court has learned informally that Ms. Jacobs is experiencing serious health issues which has made gathering her documentation very difficult. The Court will therefore extend the deadlines previously set forth. Respondent's counsel has indicated to the Court that there is no objection to extending these deadlines.
After due consideration, and for cause, it is
ORDERED that the time in our May 26, 2021, Order for petitioner Ms. Lea Jacobs to provide respondent's counsel with necessary substantiation documents pertaining to her case for respondent's review is extended from August 24, 2021 to October 8, 2021. It is further
ORDERED that the time in our May 26, 2021, Order for the parties to file either separate or joint status reports with the Court as to the then present status of this case is extended from September 23, 2021 to November 8, 2021.
