PAMELA CHAN, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent

MARK V. HOLMES, JUDGE

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

MARK V. HOLMES, JUDGE

This case was on the Court's October 19, 2020 trial calendar for New York City and began with a missing return. Progress was very slow, but the parties reported in March of this year that they had settled. We spoke with them in September when no settlement document had arrived, and the IRS lawyer promised to send another copy of the settlement document to Ms. Chan. Ms. Chan promised to sign and return it to the IRS for processing.

The IRS recently reported that she had not done so despite her promise. It is therefore

ORDERED that on or before November 4, 2022 Ms. Chan must SHOW CAUSE why we should not dismiss her case for lack of proper prosecution. We will discharge this order and NOT dismiss her case ONLY IF Ms. Chan:

1.Files a SIGNED copy of the stipulation of settlement sent to her by the IRS, OR

2.Contacts the Court to set up a teleconference to finally bring her case to a close.
