TRIANA R. BACLAYON & ENOKA K. BACLAYON, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
This case is before the Court on petitioners' Motion to Proceed Remotely, filed April 23, 2023. However, the motion does not state respondent's position on whether there is any objection to the case proceeding remotely. Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that, on or before November 22, 2023, the parties (i.e., petitioners and respondent) shall confer regarding the status of the case and the parties' views as to the above-referenced pending motion. The Court encourages the parties to cooperate and communicate with their opponent, and prepare this case for trial or other resolution, so that the parties can resolve among themselves any issues that can be resolved without the Court's involvement. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before December 13, 2023, respondent shall file a response to petitioners' above-referenced motion, noting therein any objections, if any, of the granting of the motion. The response should also describe the current progress in the case, what actions the parties have taken to prepare this case for trial or other resolution, and whether the parties have conferred as directed.
