Emin Toro, Judge
This case was calendared for trial during the Court's May 22, 2023, Chicago, Illinois, trial session. On May 17, 2023, the Court held a conference call with the parties to discuss, among other things, the status of the case. During the call, petitioner's counsel made an informal request for a continuance. Respondent had no objection to the granting of a continuance. By Order served May 17, 2023, among other things, this case was stricken from the May 22, 2023, Chicago, Illinois, trial session and the undersigned judge retained jurisdiction.
On January 23, 2024, respondent filed a Status Report (Doc. 33). On January 29, 2024, the Court held a conference call with the parties to discuss, among other things, the status of the case. As discussed during that conference call, to give the parties additional time to exchange documents and engage in possible settlement discussions, the Court will direct the parties to file a status report. Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that, on or before March 14, 2024, the parties shall file with the Court a joint report (or, if that is not expedient, then separate reports) describing the status of the case.
If the case is not reported settled by March 14, 2024, the report shall include a statement as to whether the case is suitable for submission fully stipulated under Rule 122, Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. If the case remains for trial, it may be scheduled for trial during an upcoming spring session.
