ORDER
Emin Toro Judge
The Court has described the procedural history of this case in prior orders and does not repeat that history here.
On February 22, 2023, the parties filed a Joint Status Report (Doc. 86). The Joint Status Report advises that "settlement of this case via a Closing Agreement appears likely" and requests additional time to allow respondent's counsel "time to continue drafting the closing agreements with his National Office and obtain supervisory approval of the proposed settlement in this case, and to allow the parties to continue settlement discussions."
In light of the foregoing, it is hereby
ORDERED that petitioners' Motion to Compel Compliance with Deposition Subpoenas Issued to Non-Parties National Financial Services, LLC, and Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC, Requiring Them to Produce One or More Individuals to Testify, Pursuant to Tax Court Rules 74(b)(3) and 81(c) and Conditional Request for Payment of Attorney's Fees of Petitioners filed March 8, 2022, is denied without prejudice to petitioners' right to renew. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before April 21, 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.
