HUNG MINH LY, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
By Order to Show Cause served June 20, 2023, the Court directed each party to show cause in writing why the Court should not issue an order directing that the small tax case designation be removed in this case and that the proceedings not be conducted as a small tax case. On July 7, 2023, respondent filed a Response in which he agrees that the amount in dispute exceeds $50,000 for the taxable 2018 and thus that this case cannot proceed as a small tax case. To date, petitioner has failed to file a response to the Order to Show Cause.
Because the amount in dispute exceeds $50,000 for the taxable year 2018, this case cannot proceed as a small tax case. See I.R.C. § 7463(a)(1); Rules 170 and 171, Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. That being so, it is
ORDERED that the Court's Order to Show Cause is hereby made absolute. It is further
ORDERED that the docket number of this case is amended by deleting the letter "S" therefrom, and the Clerk of the Court is hereafter directed to process this case to trial or other disposition as a regular tax case.
