KALEYA FERGUSON, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
By Order issued June 7, 2021, the Court directed petitioner to file an amended petition and pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee for this case. No response was received from petitioner. On July 11, 2022, the Court issued an Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction on the ground that petitioner failed to pay the Court's filing fee. The filing fee has since been received. Petitioner, however, has not yet filed an amended petition.
Upon due consideration of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that the Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction, entered July 11, 2022, is vacated and set aside. It is further
ORDERED that the time within which petitioner shall file a proper amended petition is extended to August 9, 2022. A petition form is available on the Court's website, www.ustaxcourt.gov. Petitioner is advised to place the docket number of this case on any documents relating to this case that are filed with the Court. Failure to comply with this Order may result in the dismissal of this case for lack of jurisdiction.
