LAURIE JONES HARVEY, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Adam B. Landy Special Trial Judge
This case is presently calendared for trial at the Court's September 6, 2022, Columbia, South Carolina trial session. On August 15, 2022, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Properly Prosecute. Respondent states that petitioner has been nonresponsive to his communication attempts to resolve this case.
On August 24, 2022, the Court held a conference call with the parties to discuss respondent's motion. At the conclusion of the call, respondent's counsel requested that the Court hold his motion in abeyance to allow the parties to confer and possibly resolve this case without a trial.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Properly Prosecute, filed August 15, 2022, is held in abeyance. It is further
ORDERED that this case is hereby stricken from the Court's September 6, 2022, Columbia, South Carolina trial session and is continued. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction of this case is retained by the undersigned. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before September 30, 2022, the parties shall file either a proposed stipulated decision or a status report (preferably a joint report) detailing the then-present status of the case.
