ORDER
KATHLEEN KERRIGAN CHIEF JUDGE
The petition filed to commence this case served on January 4, 2022, did not bear the original signature on the petition of counsel John Sterbick as required by Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.

Petitioner's counsel may obtain an Entry of Appearance form under "Case Related Forms" on the Tax Court's website at www.ustaxcourt.gov/case_related_forms.html.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that no later than, December 14, 2022, John Sterbick, shall file a entry of appearance, if he wishes to enter his appearance in this case as counsel for petitioner. It is further
ORDERED that, in addition to regular service, the Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order on John Sterbick at the address listed for himself in the petition.
