DENNIS H. BRAND & BETTY B. BRAND, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
On January 20, 2022, respondent filed in the above-docketed case a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, on the grounds that no notice of deficiency, as authorized by section 6212 and required by section 6213(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.) to form the basis for a petition to this Court, or notice of determination concerning collection action pursuant to section 6320 and/or 6330, I.R.C., had been sent to petitioners with respect to taxable years 2019 and 2020, nor had respondent made any other determination with respect to petitioners' tax years 2019 and 2020 that would confer jurisdiction on the Court, as of the date the petition herein was filed. Although the Court directed petitioners to file an objection, if any, to respondent's motion to dismiss, petitioners have failed to do so.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion To Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction is granted, and this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
