MONTY ANDREW MEEKS, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
Pending before the Court is petitioner's Motion to Proceed Remotely filed February 6, 2023. However, on March 30, 2023, petitioner filed a second Motion to Proceed Remotely. That motion is duplicative of the first-filed motion and shall therefore be stricken from record in this case. Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's Motion to Proceed Remotely filed March 20, 2023, is hereby deemed stricken from the record in this case.
ORDERED that, on or before September 21, 2023, respondent and petitioner 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 to exchange documents and information, and to further develop this case for trial or other resolution, and 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 October 12, 2023, respondent shall file a response to petitioner's above-referenced motion, noting therein any objections, if any, of the granting of the motion. In that response respondent shall describe (1) the current progress in the case, (2) what actions the parties have taken to prepare this case for trial or other resolution, and (3) whether the parties have conferred as directed in the preceding paragraph.
