Kevin C. Duffell Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge
On March 9, 2022, the parties filed a proposed stipulated decision for the Court's consideration. However, respondent's counsel's signature on that document appears to have been made using a cursive computer font. While the Court permits the filing of documents signed with imaged or digitized signatures, the use of cursive fonts is not acceptable. See Frequently Asked Questions About DAWSON on the Court's website, www.ustaxcourt.gov, for examples of acceptable imaged or digitized signatures. In addition, it appears that the record in this case does not contain a copy of the notice of deficiency on which this case is based.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that the parties' proposed stipulated decision, filed March 9, 2022, is stricken from the Court's record in this case. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before April 22, 2022, respondent shall file a Response to this Order and attach thereto a complete copy of the notice of deficiency on which this case is based. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before April 22, 2022, the parties shall file a revised proposed stipulated decision.
