ANGELA SMITH BALLARD, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
On July 13, 2022, petitioner filed electronically in the above-docketed matter a series of 8 documents under the designation "Exhibit(s)". However, review shows that some were submitted duplicatively and the majority appear to be potentially evidentiary in nature, submitted by petitioner in support of her position herein.
Although the Court previously on May 19, 2022, issued to petitioner a Notice of Attachments in the Nature of Evidence, the Court would again stress that evidentiary materials generally are not filed with the Court; rather, they should be exchanged with counsel for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as part of the pretrial process (before trial) and then introduced at trial if the case has not been settled prior thereto. Because the IRS is separate from this Court, petitioner is accordingly advised to contact IRS counsel directly regarding such matters.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that the documents filed July 13, 2022, at Docket Entries #9 through 16, are hereby deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case.
