Stephanie M. Malatesta Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge
On March 22, 2021, this Court, which is separate and independent from the IRS, received from petitioner an imperfect petition, which was filed as the petition to commence this case to protect petitioner's interests to the extent possible. The Court's $60.00 filing fee was not paid.
By Order dated June 4, 2021, the Court directed petitioner to file an amended petition and pay the Court's filing fee or submit an Application for Waiver of Filing Fee for the Court's consideration. On July 6, 2021, petitioner filed a Letter, in which petitioner indicates that the petition was filed in error and she does not wish to continue to prosecute this case. Petitioner's letter suggests that she does not intend to file an amended petition and pay the Court's filing fee.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that, on the Court's own motion, this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the grounds that petitioner failed to file an amended petition and pay the Court's filing fee.
