Emin Toro Judge
On March 17, 2020, the trial session scheduled to begin in Houston, Texas, on April 20, 2020, was canceled due to concerns related to COVID-19, and this case was assigned to the undersigned judge. On June 11, 2021, the parties filed a Joint Status Report (Doc. 57) requesting additional time to file a further status report or a decision document. Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that, on or before October 14, 2021, the parties shall file with the Court either a joint report (or, if that is not expedient, then separate reports) describing the status of the case or a stipulated decision document.
If the case is not reported settled by October 14, 2021, the report shall include a statement as to whether the case is suitable for submission fully stipulated under Rule 122, Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. If the case remains for trial, the report should also include an estimate of the time required for trial and the number and location of anticipated witnesses. If the case is to be tried, it may be scheduled for a trial during a spring trial session.
