HUMBERTO BLANCO, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On July 5, 2022, the Court entered an Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction on the ground that petitioner, after having been directed to pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee, had failed to do so. On July 6, 2022, the parties filed a Proposed Stipulated Decision for the Court's consideration. To date, the Court's filing fee in this case remains unpaid.
Upon due consideration of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that, on or before August 2, 2022, petitioner shall pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee. Information on how to pay the Court's filing fee is available at www.ustaxcourt.gov/pay_filing_fee.html. Waiver of the filing fee requires an affidavit or declaration containing specific financial information regarding the inability to make such payment. See "Application for Waiver of Filing Fee", available at www.ustaxcourt.gov/case_related_forms.html. If petitioner fails to pay the filing fee (or submit an application for waiver of filing fee) on or before August 2, 2022, the Court may strike the parties' Proposed Stipulated Decision from the record in this case. It is further
ORDERED that action on the parties' Proposed Stipulated Decision shall be held in abeyance pending further direction from the Court.
