AUGUSTUS HILL, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
David Gustafson, Judge
On March 30, 2022, the Commissioner filed a notice of proceeding in bankruptcy. The notice advises that on March 18, 2022, petitioner Augustus Hill filed a bankruptcy petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland under 11 U.S.C. Chapter 11 after filing a petition with this Court on March 19, 2018. Attached to that notice is a copy of the bankruptcy court's electronic docket sheet as to Mr. Hill's bankruptcy case. By virtue of that bankruptcy filing, an automatic stay is currently in effect pursuant to 11 U.S.C. section 362(a)(8), and proceedings in this case should therefore be stayed. It is therefore
ORDERED that jurisdiction over this case is no longer retained by the undersigned judge. It is further
ORDERED that pursuant to the 11 U.S.C. section 362(a)(8), all proceedings herein are stayed until further order of this Court. It is further
ORDERED that although the proceedings are stayed, the parties shall file a joint status report (or, if that is not possible, then separate reports), on or before October 3, 2022, informing the Court of the status of the related bankruptcy proceeding. 1
