AVERY S. AARONSON, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge.
This case is before the Court on petitioner's Motion to Proceed Remotely, filed April 10, 2023, which states therein that petitioner resides overseas. Upon due consideration and in view of that filing, it is
ORDERED that, on or before September 8, 2023, the parties (i.e., petitioner and respondent) shall confer regarding the status of the case and the parties' views as to the above-referenced pending motion, including any limitation that might exist with respect to proceeding remotely in this case. 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 13, 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 should also describe the current progress in the case, including any limitation that might exist with respect to proceeding remotely in this case, what actions the parties have taken to prepare this case for trial or other resolution, and whether the parties have conferred as directed.
