MATTHEW ANDERSON, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Patrick J. Urda, Judge.
On September 23, 2022, the Commissioner filed a motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution. The Court set this motion for hearing at the Court's Milwaukee, Wisconsin trial session.
This case was called from the calendar at the Court's October 3, 2022, Milwaukee, Wisconsin trial session. There was no appearance by or on behalf of petitioner Matthew Anderson. Counsel for the Commissioner appeared and was heard on the motion. The Court set this case for a recall the following day.
This case was recalled from the calendar on October 4, 2022, at the Court's trial session in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Again, there was no appearance by or on behalf of petitioner Mr. Anderson. Counsel for the Commissioner appeared and was heard. Upon due consideration, and for cause more fully appearing in the transcript of the proceedings, it is
ORDERED that jurisdiction of this case is retained by the undersigned. It is further
ORDERED that the Commissioner's motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution is taken under advisement. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before November 3, 2022, Mr. Anderson shall show cause in writing why the Court should not grant the Commissioner's motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution, dismiss this case, and enter a decision against him in the amount of $8,273 for tax year 2019. If Mr. Anderson fails to file a response to our Order to Show Cause, the Court is inclined to grant the motion to dismiss, which would end this case (absent further Court action).
