Annalie Frutos, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes Judge
These cases were on the Court's April 4, 2022 trial calendar for Los Angeles, California, but we continued them to give the parties a chance to complete some discovery and then try to settle.
A key third party produced the records it had. They were voluminous enough to make the Commissioner put a revenue agent on the cases. Respondent then reported that he submitted a request for information to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to find a bit more missing documentation. That information has now come through, and the cases still seem headed to settlement. It is therefore
ORDERED that on or before December 23, 2022 the parties shall submit settlement documents or respondent shall file a status report describing their progress toward settlement or a narrowing of the issues to be tried.
