VERA LOPEZ, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge.
On December 19, 2023, correspondence from or on behalf of petitioner, not accompanied by payment of the Court's filing fee, was filed as a petition to commence the above-docketed case. By Order served January 10, 2024, the Court directed petitioner to pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee or submit an application for waiver thereof. No response to the Court's Order was received. Hence, by Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction entered March 1, 2024, this case was dismissed for petitioner's failure to pay the filing fee as directed by the Court.
Subsequently, on March 18, 2024, the Court received from petitioner payment of the Court's $60.00 filing fee. Accordingly, upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that the Court's Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction, entered March 1, 2024, is hereby vacated and set aside.
