HABIB KROMAH, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
KATHLEEN KERRIGAN, CHIEF JUDGE
On November 15, 2021, petitioner filed the petition to commence this case. The petition does not appear to bear the original signature of petitioner or of a practitioner admitted to practice before this Court, as required by the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. By Order served February 3, 2022, the Court directed petitioner to file a ratification of petition. The copy of that Order served on petitioner was later received by the Court as returned mail. The Court has corrected petitioner's address in the Court's record.
Upon due consideration of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that the due date for petitioner to file a ratification of petition is extended to October 19, 2022. Failure to comply with this Order may result in the dismissal of this case for lack of jurisdiction. It is further
ORDERED that, in addition to this Order, the Clerk of the Court shall serve on petitioner a copy of the Court's Order served February 3, 2022, which includes a form which petitioner may use for purposes of filing a ratification of petition.
