SEAN BENGE & BROOKE BENGE, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On April 1, 2024, correspondence from or on behalf of petitioners, not accompanied by payment of the Court's filing fee, was filed as an imperfect petition to commence the above-docketed case. By Order served April 2, 2024, the Court directed petitioners to file an Amended Petition and to pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee or submit an application for waiver thereof.
Subsequently, on April 8, 2024, the Court received from petitioners payment of the Court's $60.00 filing fee. However, no Amended Petition has been received to date. Accordingly, the premises considered, it is
ORDERED that, on the Court's own motion, this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that petitioners failed to file a proper Amended Petition.
Petitioners are advised that the Court, on its own motion, will consider reinstating this case if, within 30 days from the date of service of this Order, a properly signed amended petition is filed.
