MARK STEVEN ELLIS & MEGHAN ELLIS, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
David Gustafson Judge
This case was set for trial at a session of the Tax Court in Detroit beginning September 6, 2022, to which the judge signing this order was assigned. At the request of petitioner Mark Steven Ellis, our order of August 24, 2022, continued the case and required the parties to file periodic status reports. Those reports have indicated that Mr. Ellis has been incarcerated and that petitioner Meghan Ellis has filed with the IRS a Form 8857, "Request for Innocent Spouse Relief". The judge signing this order has no expectation of presiding at a Detroit session in the foreseeable future. It is therefore
ORDERED that the judge signing this order no longer retains jurisdiction over this case, and that this case is continued and is restored to the general docket.
