JULES S. DEUTSCH, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Cary Douglas Pugh Judge
On October 21, 2020, the parties filed a joint Motion for Continuance, advising that only the additions to tax remained in dispute and requesting additional time for the parties to investigate a 2014 refund check issue. We granted the motion, and this case was stricken from the Court's November 16, 2020, New Orleans remote trial session and continued. Since that time, respondent has filed a series of Status Reports highlighting attempts by respondent's Appeals Office to resolve repeated errors and miscalculations made by the IRS to petitioner's tax years related to this case.
On August 15, 2022, respondent filed a Status Report, requesting additional time to submit stipulated decision documents so that the Appeals Office could "make the necessary corrections requested by respondent's counsel for petitioner's 2015 and 2016 tax years." Upon due consideration and for cause, it is hereby
ORDERED that, on or before October 22, 2022, the parties shall file further reports or submit proposed stipulated decision documents to the Court.
The parties are advised that if they are unable to submit stipulated decision documents by the deadline, we will set this case for hearing at our November 28, 2022, New Orleans, Louisiana trial session so that we may understand the reason for the continued delay.
