ROBERT MITCHELL JOHNSON, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Cary Douglas Pugh, Judge
This case is currently set for trial at the Court's October 10, 2023, Birmingham, Alabama trial session. On October 5, 2023, respondent filed a Motion to Remand and a First Supplement to respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction (we separately denied respondent's Motion to Dismiss in the light of respondent's supplement to that motion). On that same date we held a conference call with the parties. Upon due consideration and for cause, it is hereby
ORDERED that this case is stricken from the Court's October 10, 2023, Birmingham, Alabama trial session and continued, and jurisdiction is retained by this Division of the Court. It is further
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Remand, filed October 5, 2023, is granted, and this case is remanded to respondent's Appeals Office for further proceedings consistent with the matters discussed in the motion. It is further
ORDERED that the above-referenced hearing shall take place at respondent's Office of Appeals located closest to petitioner's residence or at another mutually acceptable location, and at a reasonable and mutually agreed upon date and time, but no later than January 2, 2024. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before February 2, 2024, the parties shall file status reports regarding the then-present status of this case.
