Rhuena R. Atienza Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
RONALD L. BUCH JUDGE
This case was calendared for trial at the Court's February 14, 2022, San Francisco, trial session. Due to concerns relating to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases driven by the circulation of the highly contagious Omicron variant, on January 27, 2022, the Court issued a notice changing the trial session to a remote proceeding. After the Court issued the notice, the Commissioner filed a status report informing the Court that "Respondent's Office of Independent Appeals has sent Petitioner a decision document reflecting Respondent's concession of the deficiency and penalty in this case." Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that this case is stricken from the above-referenced remote trial session, and the parties are excused from appearing at the calendar call on February 14, 2022. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before March 25, 2022, the parties shall submit a proposed stipulated decision or file a joint status report. In lieu of a joint status report, either party may file a status report stating that the other party has reviewed and agreed to the content of the report. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction of this case is retained by the undersigned.
