Alexandra G. Byars Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge
On September 23, 2021, David R. Trippe filed his Entry of Appearance for Alexandra G. Byars. However, further examination discloses that Entry of Appearance by Mr. Trippe states he is also entering his appearance in this case as counsel for Brian N. Byars who is not a party in this case. The original petition in this case while signed only by petitioner Alexandra G. Byars, seeks a redetermination of a notice of deficiency issued to both petitioner and Brian N. Byars for their tax years 2016 and 2017. The foregoing considered and for cause, it is
ORDERED that, on or before October 25, 2021, petitioner Alexandra G. Byars and Brian N. Byars each shall file a Response to this order setting forth and discussing her/his position as to whether or not Mr. Byars should be added as a petitioner in this case. Among other things, petitioner shall set forth (1) whether or not in filing the original petition she also intended to file that petition on behalf of Brian N. Byars, and (2) whether Mr. Trippe is her counsel in this case. It is further
ORDERED that, in addition to regular service, the Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order on both (1) petitioner at her address of record, and (2) Brian N. Byars in care of David R. Trippe.
