Todd D. Graham & Traci R. Graham Petitioners v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Emin Toro Judge
On March 17, 2020, the trial session scheduled to begin in Houston, Texas, on April 20, 2020, was canceled due to concerns related to COVID-19, and this case was assigned to the undersigned judge. On May 24, 2021, the parties filed a Joint Status Report (Doc. 26) informing the Court that the parties are continuing in their discussions, gathering information, and making other efforts to try to resolve the case. The Court believes the parties have been provided sufficient time to discuss the case and narrow the issues in dispute. Accordingly, the Court will add this case to its September 20, 2021, remote trial session, where Kansas City, Missouri, is listed as the place of trial. Because all trial sessions are being conducted remotely, this place of trial is for administrative purposes only. Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that this case is calendared for trial during the Court's September 20, 2021, Kansas City, Missouri, remote trial session. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall serve on the parties (1) a Notice of Remote Proceeding containing comprehensive instructions on how to participate in the above-referenced remote proceeding, (2) a copy of the Standing Pretrial Order for the Court's September 20, 2021, Kansas City, Missouri, remote trial session, and (3) a clinic letter for Houston, Texas.
