Courtney Matthews Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley, Chief Judge.
On January 20, 2022, petitioner filed electronically in the above-docketed matter a document designated "Ratification of My Signature". A Ratification of Petition, however, requires an original signature and therefore is not amongst the documents eligible for eFiling. Rather, a Ratification of Petition must be filed in paper form. See the guidelines at www.ustaxcourt.gov for further information.
Accordingly, the premises considered, it is
ORDERED that the "Ratification of My Signature" filed January 20, 2022, is hereby deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before February 4, 2022, petitioner shall file in paper form a proper Ratification of Petition, bearing petitioner's original signature, as directed in the Court's Order dated December 21, 2021.
