JAMES R. JOHNSON & CAROLINA JARAMILL, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Eunkyong Choi Special Trial Judge
This case is currently calendared for trial at the Court's New York City, New York trial session, which is scheduled to begin April 11, 2023. On January 3, 2023, the Court received a letter from petitioner's CPA dated December 29, 2022, (index #7) wherein petitioner's CPA requests that the case be rescheduled for trial after April 17, 2023, due to the impending tax season. On January 13, 2023, the Court served an Order instructing respondent to on or before February 13, 2023, file a response to petitioner's letter dated December 29, 2022, (index #7). On February 13, 2023, respondent filed a Response indicating to the Court that respondent has no objection to petitioners' request to reschedule the trial date in the above matter.
Because the letter is from petitioner's CPA and he is not able to practice before the Court we cannot have him speak for petitioners, Therefore, the Court cannot address petitioner's CPA's letter which is in effect a Motion for Continuance. Accordingly we will issue an Order instructing petitioners to file a Motion for Continuance.
Upon due consideration it is hereby
ORDERED that on or before March 15, 2023, petitioners shall file with the Court a Motion for Continuance.
