ERIC J. SCOTT, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Adam B. Landy Special Trial Judge
This case is presently calendared for trial at the Court's October 30, 2023, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, trial session.
On September 28, 2023, the Commissioner filed a Motion for Continuance. The Court held a conference call with the parties on October 19, 2023. After the call, we allowed the parties additional time to discuss settlement without a trial. On October 27, 2023, the Commissioner filed a status report advising the Court that the parties have reached a basis for settlement. The status report further infers that the parties require additional time to file a proposed stipulated decision.
Upon due consideration of the Commissioner's motion and status report, and for cause, it is
ORDERED that this case is stricken from the above-referenced trial session, and the parties are excused from appearing at the calendar call on October 30, 2023. It is further
ORDERED that the Commissioner's Motion for Continuance, filed September 28,2023, is denied as moot. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before December 29, 2023, the parties shall file a proposed stipulated decision or status report (preferably a joint report) to inform the Court of the then-present status of this case. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction of this case is retained by the undersigned.
