MARGA HAWORTH & GEOFFREY HAWORTH, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes, Judge
This case is on the Court's September 12, 2022 San Francisco, California trial calendar. It apparently arose because of mistakes on petitioners' original return that they have since tried to correct through an amended return. They have also provided their supporting records to the IRS. Respondent moved without objection on July 19, 2022 for a continuance because his review of those records might take a little bit more time than is left before trial. We spoke to the parties about the case on August 4, 2022. We now share with them the expectation that it will settle at IRS Appeals and it is reasonable to give them more time to discuss any remaining issues and draft the required settlement documents. It is therefore
ORDERED that respondent's July 19, 2022 motion for a continuance is granted in that this case is stricken from the Court's September 12, 2022 trial calendar for San Francisco, California. It is also
ORDERED that this division of the Court retains jurisdiction over this case. It is also
ORDERED that on or before October 4, 2022 the parties shall submit settlement documents or respondent shall file a status report describing their progress in settling the case or narrowing the issues to be tried.
