JOSEPH W. BILOTTA, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Emin Toro, Judge
This case was calendared for trial during the Court's January 17, 2023, Los Angeles, California, trial session. On January 13, 2023, respondent filed a Motion for Continuance of Trial (Doc. 77). By Order served January 17, 2023, respondent's Motion for Continuance of Trial was granted, and the undersigned judge retained jurisdiction.
On March 17, 2023, and May 1, 2023, respondent filed Status Reports (Docs. 79 & 82). By Order served May 8, 2023, the parties were directed to file on or before June 7, 2023, either a joint report describing the status of the case, a stipulated decision document, or any appropriate motion.
After the parties failed to file a status report, stipulated decision document, or any motion on or before June 7, 2023, Court personnel emailed both petitioner and counsel for respondent to inquire about the status of the case.
On June 13, 2023, respondent filed a Status Report (Doc. 84). Upon review, respondent's June 13, 2023, Status Report appears to be a duplicate of his March 17, 2023, including, for example, requesting that the Court give the parties until May 1, 2023, to report the status of this case.
Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that, on or before June 23, 2023, 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, including specifically the steps taken since March 17, 2023, towards resolution of this case.
