Advance Oil, Inc Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Emin Toro Judge
On April 3, 2020, the trial session scheduled to begin in Los Angeles, California, on May 18, 2020, was canceled due to concerns related to COVID-19, and this case was assigned to the undersigned judge. On June 1, 2021, respondent filed a Status Report (Doc. 30) informing the Court that the parties' inability to reach a basis of settlement in petitioner's owner's related case has impacted their ability to reach an agreement in this case. The parties have agreed to continue settlement negotiations and begin trial preparation. The Court believes the parties have been provided sufficient time to discuss the case and narrow the issues in dispute. Accordingly, the Court will add this case to its September 20, 2021, remote trial session, where Kansas City, Missouri, is listed as the place of trial. Because all trial sessions are being conducted remotely, this place of trial is for administrative purposes only. Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that this case is calendared for trial during the Court's September 20, 2021, Kansas City, Missouri, remote trial session. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall serve on the parties (1) a Notice of Remote Proceeding containing comprehensive instructions on how to participate in the above-referenced remote proceeding, (2) a copy of the Standing Pretrial Order for the Court's September 20, 2021, Kansas City, Missouri, remote trial session, and (3) a clinic letter for Los Angeles, California.
