DANIEL L. RODRIGUEZ & SARAH J. BOOTH-RODRIGUEZ, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes, Judge
This case was on the January 30, 2023 Los Angeles, California trial calendar. It arises from a number of substantiation issues from a dental practice. Petitioners were slow in providing substantiation because their return preparer had died unexpectedly and they could not easily obtain the records that preparer had; there were also problems in transmitting files betweeh IRS Appeals and Counsel. We spoke with the parties today to discuss how to bring the case to a conclusion. Both parties are cooperating in informal discovery, but to make sure the case is either settled or ready to be tried, it is
ORDERED that this case be added to the Court's trial calendar that will begin at 10:00 a.m. on December 18, 2023 in Room 1167 of the Roybal Center and Federal Building at 255 East Temple Street in Los Angeles, California 90012. It is also
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to attach a copy of the Court's standing pretrial order for the December 18, 2023, Los Angeles, California trial session to a copy of this Order served on the parties. This Order is the official notice to the parties of this schedule.
