ORDER AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge.
By Order issued June 29, 2021, the Court directed petitioner to file an amended petition and to pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee for this case. No response has been received from petitioner.
On January 31, 2022, one of respondent's counsels, Angela J. Kennedy, filed a motion to withdraw, requesting that she be permitted to withdraw as respondent's counsel in this case.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that the motion to withdraw, filed January 31, 2022, is recharacterized as a motion to withdraw as counsel. It is further
ORDERED that the motion to withdraw as counsel is granted. It is further
ORDERED that this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that petitioner failed to file an amended petition and to pay the Court's filing fee.
Petitioner is advised that the Court, on its own motion, will consider reinstating the case if, within 30 days from the date of service of this Order, the filing fee is paid (or if petitioner submits for the Court's consideration an Application for Waiver of Filing Fee). Forms are available on the Court's website by clicking on "eFiling & Case Maintenance", then by clicking on "Case Related Forms". Instructions on how to pay the filing fee can be found in the "Guidance for Petitioners" tab of the Court's website at www.ustaxcourt.gov.
