ROBERT H. MENDELSOHN & INGRID MENDELSOHN, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Emin Toro Judge
This case is currently calendared for trial during the Court's May 9, 2022, Washington, D.C., trial session. On February 17, 2022, petitioners filed a Motion to Remand (Doc. 7) asking the Court to remand this collection due process case to respondent's IRS Independent Office of Appeals for further consideration. On March 16, 2022, the Court held a conference call with the parties to discuss the current status of the case and petitioners' pending motion. As discussed during the conference call, the parties agreed to work together to make a joint motion for remand for the limited purpose of resolving the rescinded offer-in-compromise.
On March 30, 2022, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Remand (Doc. 10) asking the Court to remand this collection due process case to respondent's IRS Independent Office of Appeals for the limited purpose for petitioners to accept an offer-in-compromise that had previously been agreed upon but not accepted.
Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that this case is stricken from the Court's May 9, 2022, Washington, D.C., trial session. It is further
ORDERED that petitioners' Motion for Remand filed February 17, 2022, is denied as moot. It is further
ORDERED that the parties' Joint Motion to Remand is granted, and the case is remanded to the IRS Independent Office of Appeals for the limited purpose of acceptance of the offer-in-compromise outlined in paragraph two of the parties' Joint Motion to Remand filed March 30, 2022. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before July 5, 2022, the parties shall file with the Court a joint report (or, if that is not expedient, then separate reports) describing the status of the case. It is further
ORDERED that the undersigned judge retains jurisdiction of this case.
