ANTHONY ESPESETH, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
On July 21, 2021, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction on the ground that petitioner paid the tax liability for tax year 2018 before the issuance of the notice of deficiency, and, therefore, the notice of deficiency on which this case is based is invalid. Although the Court provided petitioner an opportunity to file an objection, if any, to respondent's motion, no response has been received from petitioner.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction is granted and this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that the notice of deficiency on which this case is based is invalid.
