ARETHIA B. HYATT, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Patrick J. Urda Judge.
On August 22, 2022, the Commissioner filed a motion to dismiss for failure to properly prosecute, and the Court subsequently directed petitioner Arethia B. Hyatt to file a response to the motion by September 14, 2022.
This case was called and recalled from the calendar at the Court's Atlanta, Georgia trial session on September 12, 2022, and September 13, 2022, respectively. Counsel for respondent appeared and was heard. There was no appearance by or on behalf of Ms. Hyatt. The Court allowed some more time for Ms. Hyatt to file her response.
Since there has been no response filed by Ms. Hyatt, we will give her another chance to show cause in writing as to why we should not dismiss her case for failure to properly prosecute. Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that, on or before October 21, 2022, Ms. Hyatt shall show cause in writing as to why the Court should not grant the Commissioner's motion to dismiss for failure to properly prosecute. Should Ms. Hyatt fail to file a response, the Court is likely to grant the Commissioner's motion to dismiss for failure to properly prosecute and enter a decision in the amounts set forth in the motion.
