KELLY A. FORD, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
On January 2, 2024, respondent filed a Notice of Withdrawal as Counsel. Therein respondent's counsel Robert Saal states that petitioner has been notified of the proposed withdrawal of counsel, but that petitioner has not yet responded. Accordingly, the Notice of Withdrawal as Counsel does not meet the requirement of Rule 24(c)(1)(C), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, that there be no objection to the withdrawal.
Upon due consideration of the above, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Notice of Withdrawal as Counsel is recharacterized as a Motion To Withdraw as Counsel. It is further
ORDERED that respondent's Motion To Withdraw as Counsel is granted.
