Ray Cooper & Martha Zapata-Cooper Petitioners v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Maurice B. Foley, Chief Judge
On May 12, 2021, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction on the ground that petitioners paid the tax liability for tax year 2017 before the issuance of the notice of deficiency, and, therefore, the notice of deficiency is invalid. Although the Court directed petitioners to file an objection, if any, to respondent's motion, petitioners failed to do so.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction is granted in that this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that the notice of deficiency is invalid.
