Emin Toro Judge
This case is currently calendared for trial during the Court's May 16, 2022, Helena, Montana, remote trial session. On April 8, 2022, respondent filed a Motion for Continuance of Trial (Doc. 9). On April 18, 2022, the Court held a conference call with the parties to discuss the current status of the case and respondent's pending motion. Respondent's counsel advised that the IRS Independent Office of Appeals made a settlement offer to petitioner, and petitioner advised that she would like to continue working with Appeals and had no objection to the granting of respondent's motion. Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that respondent's Motion for Continuance of Trial is granted in that this case is stricken from the May 16, 2022, Helena, Montana, remote trial session. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before June 17, 2022, the parties shall file with the Court either a joint report (or, if that is not expedient, then separate reports) describing the status of the case or a stipulated decision document. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction of this case is retained by the undersigned judge.
