Medi Caregivers LLC, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Courtney D. Jones Judge.
This case is scheduled for trial at the session of the Court scheduled to commence on February 14, 2022, at Atlanta, Georgia. On January 7, 2022, respondent filed a motion for continuance. Respondent reports that the parties are now communicating and making progress. Respondent cites that the parties filed a Stipulation of Settled Issues on August 2, 2021 (docket entry no. 33), which fully resolves the first three of the tax years at issue. Respondent also reports that the parties have agreed to a Stipulation of Facts for the two remaining years, which respondent expects to file on or before January 21, 2022. In addition, respondent reports that both parties remain hopeful that this case will settle without trial.
Generally, the undersigned would not be inclined to grant a third continuance in the instant case. But in light of the significant progress the parties have made in recent months and their shared hope to resolve the case without trial, it is
ORDERED that respondent's motion for continuance, filed January 7, 2022, is granted and this case is hereby stricken from trial at the session of the Court scheduled to commence at Atlanta, Georgia on February 14, 2022, and is continued generally.
