ORDER
Elizabeth A. Copeland Judge
This case was originally calendared for trial at the Court's Trial Session in Denver, Colorado which commenced on September 28, 2020. By Order of the Court dated September 1, 2020, this case was continued from the calendar and this Division of the Court retained jurisdiction.
On October 13, 2022, the parties filed with the Court a Joint Status Report. The parties informed the Court that the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") had accepted petitioner's Offer in Compromise ("OIC"). The OIC, once fully processed, will eliminate petitioner's tax liability for the years at issues rendering this case moot. The parties informed the Court that they intend to file a motion to dismiss on grounds of mootness once the accepted OIC is fully implemented. The parties have requested ninety (90) days in which to submit such a motion or decision documents.
Upon due consideration, and for cause, it is
ORDERED that, on or before February 6, 2023, the parties shall file with the Court an appropriate motion dismissing this collection case, decision documents or a joint status report informing the Court of the then-present status of this case. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction of this case is released by this Division of the Court, and the case is returned back to the general docket.
