Kirk E. Heaton Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
David Gustafson Judge
The Commissioner filed a motion for summary judgment (Doc. 7). Thereafter, by its order of October 19, 2021, the Court granted petitioner leave to amend his petition, ordered a schedule for supplemental briefing of the motion for summary judgment, and ordered "that, no later than January 10, 2022, the parties shall consult with each other to determine whether, based on available information, there is a basis for potential settlement of the issues presented in this case." (Doc. 23.) Petitioner has filed a sur-reply (Doc. 27) that, if the Court correctly understands the parties' implementation of its prior order, completes the scheduled briefing of the motion for summary judgment. It is
ORDERED that the Court's order of October 19, 2021 (Doc. 23), remains in effect insofar as it requires the parties to consult no later than January 10, 2022. It is further
ORDERED that, no later than January 31, 2022, the parties shall file a joint status report (or, if that is not expedient, then separate reports). 1
