GLENN MATHUS, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
KATHLEEN KERRIGAN CHIEF JUDGE
On October 5, 2022, petitioner filed a First Amended Petition. That document was served on respondent (i.e., the IRS) on October 21, 2022. Certain documents attached to the First Amended Petition appear to be in the nature of evidence. Petitioner is therefore advised that these documents have not be received into evidence by the Court, and that, unless otherwise directed by the Court, the appropriate time to present documentary evidence for inclusion in the Court's record is at the trial of this matter.
If, in an effort to settle this matter before trial, petitioner would like respondent to review and consider certain documents, such as those that petitioner has filed with the Court, petitioner may provide those documents directly to the attorneys who will be representing respondent in this matter. The names of those attorneys and their contact information will be included in the answer that respondent will file to the First Amended Petition. For further information, petitioner may consult "Guidance for Petitioners" under the "Rules & Guidance" tab on the Court's website at www.ustaxcourt.gov.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that respondent shall have 60 days from October 21, 2022, within which to file an answer to the First Amended Petition, or 45 days from that date within which to move with respect to such First Amended Petition.
