SCOTT LANE HOLCOMB, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Alina I. Marshall, Judge
This case is calendared for a remote trial at the session of the Court scheduled to commence on April 18, 2022, for cases in which Charleston, West Virginia, is the place of trial.
On February 17, 2022, respondent filed a motion for summary judgment and a declaration of Norma L. Sotomayor in support of motion for summary judgment. On March 3, 2022, the Court issued an order directing petitioner to file on or before March 18, 2022, a response to respondent's motion for summary judgment. Petitioner did not file any such response.
On April 11, 2022, the Court conducted a conference call with the parties. During that conference call, the parties and the Court addressed whether a continuance would be granted to give petitioner additional time to respond to respondent's motion for summary judgment. Additionally, during that call, the Court noted that there are tax clinics that might be able to help petitioner if he would like help in responding to respondent's motion for summary judgment.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that this case is stricken from the Court's April 18, 2022, Charleston, West Virgnia, trial session and is continued. It is further
ORDERED that the time within which petitioner shall file a response to respondent's motion for summary judgment filed February 17, 2022, is extended to and including May 27, 2022. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction is retained by the undersigned.
