JOSEPH L. MCQUIRTER & DOROTHY A. MCQUIRTER, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes Judge
This case is on the February 12, 2024 Los Angeles, California trial calendar. Respondent moved without objection on December 7, 2023 to continue the case. We spoke with the parties today to discuss progress, and both parties agreed that they've cooperated in informal discovery and do expect to be able to settle at IRS Appeals. They have another meeting later this week at IRS Appeals, which means it is reasonable to move this case to a status-report track.
It is therefore
ORDERED that respondent's December 7, 2023 motion to continue is granted in that this case is stricken from the Court's February 12, 2024 Los Angeles, California trial calendar. It is also
ORDERED that this division of the Court retains jurisdiction. It is also
ORDERED that on or before February 9, 2024 respondent file a status report on the parties' progress in settling at IRS Appeals.
