OLABISI AMOSUN, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge.
Respondent's answer to the petition in this case was due August 16, 2021. On July 8, 2022, respondent filed a Motion to Extend Time to Move or File Answer, stating therein that due to a clerical error the answer in this case was inadvertently filed in another Tax Court case. Respondent also states that, with his motion, he concurrently lodged an answer. However, that answer was filed, not lodged. Respondent's attempts to file his answer are improper. Respondent should properly file a Motion for Leave to File Out of Time Answer and concurrently lodge, not file, his answer.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Extend Time to Move or File Answer, filed July 8, 2022, is denied. It is further
ORDERED that respondent's Answer, filed July 8, 2022, is stricken from the Court's record. 1
