Alan Kaluev & Nataliya Zinevych Petitioners v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Peter J. Panuthos Special Trial Judge
On October 7, 2021, the Court conducted a conference call with the parties. During that call, the parties informed the Court that progress had been made towards settlement in this case. The Court advised that an order setting a deadline for the parties to file settlement documents or status reports (joint or separate) would be issued.
Also, during the call the Court and the parties discussed the potential consolidation of this case with petitioners' case at Docket No. 10915-21. The Court advised petitioners that prior to filing a motion to consolidate the two cases they would be required to file a motion for small tax case designation at Docket No. 10915-21.
At this time, the Court further advises petitioners that its Order issued June 14, 2021, required that petitioners pay the filing fee for Docket No. 10915-21 on or before July 26, 2021. The filing fee for that case is currently overdue. The Court advises petitioners to pay the filing fee as soon as is feasible. Failure to pay the filing fee may result in dismissal of that case.
Premises considered, it is hereby
ORDERED that the parties shall, on or before December 10, 2021, either (1) submit settlement documents or (2) file status report(s) (joint or separate) advising as to the then present status of this case.
If the parties do not submit settlement documents, any status report filed shall specify the remaining issues in this matter.
This Order constitutes official notice of its contents to the parties.
