EDWARD DORBISH & JENNIFER DORBISH, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge.
On June 25, 2021, respondent filed in the above-docketed case a Motion To Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction as to Petitioner Jennifer Dorbish, on the ground that no statutory notice of deficiency, as authorized by section 6212 and required by section 6213(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.) to form the basis for a petition to this Court, had been sent to petitioner Jennifer Dorbish with respect to taxable year 2017, nor had respondent made any other determination with respect to Jennifer Dorbish's tax year 2017 that would confer jurisdiction on this Court, as of the date the petition herein was filed. Although the Court directed petitioners to file an objection, if any, to respondent's motion to dismiss, petitioners have failed to do so. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion To Dismiss For Lack of Jurisdiction as to Jennifer Dorbish is granted. This case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as to Jennifer Dorbish, and references in the petition to Jennifer Dorbish are deemed stricken. It is further
ORDERED that the caption of this case is amended to read "Edward Dorbish, Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Respondent".
