ROY J. MEIDINGER, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
On July 13, 2022, petitioner filed a notice of appeal of the Court's Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction entered July 5, 2022. On July 20, 2022, petitioner electronically filed two motions to seal (Docket Index Nos. 74 and 75). The document titles selected by petitioner, however, do not reflect the substance of those documents. In addition, as petitioner has filed in this case a notice of appeal, petitioner's motions are improper.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's motion to seal, filed July 20, 2022, at Docket Index No. 74, is recharacterized as a motion for leave to file motion to set aside dismissal. It is further
ORDERED that petitioner's motion to seal, filed July 20, 2022, at Docket Index No. 75, is recharacterized as a motion to set aside dismissal. It is further
ORDERED that petitioner's motion for leave to file motion to set aside dismissal and motion to set aside dismissal are stricken from the Court's record. It is further
ORDERED that, pursuant to Rule 345(b), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, petitioner's motion to set aside dismissal shall be sealed from public view and that document shall be retained by the Court in a sealed file which shall not be inspected by any person or entity, except by an Order of the Court.
