Elizabeth C. Gilbert Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Cary Douglas Pugh Judge
On February 7, 2022, respondent filed a Status Report advising that on February 5, 2022, respondent's counsel was advised by the Appeals Officer that the parties have reached a basis of settlement. On the basis of that status report, by Order dated February 9, 2022, we struck the case from the Court's February 28, 2022, San Diego, California trial session, retaining jurisdiction.
On February 1, 2022, the Court received and filed petitioner's Motion to Proceed Remotely, dated January 27, 2022, and petitioner's Motion to Change Place of Trial to Phoenix. We also received from petitioner what appears to be an Amendment to Petition. Because these were mailed to the Court prior to respondent's counsel being advised of settlement, on February 5, 2022, it is not clear to the Court whether these submissions are now moot.
Upon due consideration, and for cause, it is hereby
ORDERED that the parties shall file status reports by March 10, 2022, responding to the submissions by petitioner and indicating whether those are now moot, even if a stipulated decision document is also filed by that date. 1
