ROBERT H. MENDELSOHN & INGRID MENDELSOHN, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Emin Toro Judge
This case was calendared for trial during the Court's May 9, 2022, Washington, D.C., trial session. On March 30, 2022, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Remand (Doc. 10) asking the Court to remand this collection due process case to the respondent's Independent Office of Appeals for the limited purpose of allowing petitioners to accept an offer-in-compromise that had previously been agreed upon but not accepted.
By Order served April 6, 2022, among other things, this case was stricken from the May 9, 2022, Washington, D.C., trial session, the parties' Joint Motion to Remand was granted, and the case was remanded to respondent's Independent Office of Appeals for the limited purpose of acceptance of the offer-in-compromise outlined in paragraph two of the parties' Joint Motion to Remand.
On November 8, 2022, the parties filed a Joint Status Report (Doc. 18) informing the Court that "[o]n October 20, 2022, respondent's Independent Office of Appeals issued an acceptance letter to petitioners, indicating acceptance of petitioners' amended Form 656, Offer-in-Compromise, dated August 22, 2022. The parties are currently working together to draft a proposed stipulated decision."
Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that, on or before December 14, 2022, the parties shall file with the Court either a joint report (or, if that is not expedient, then separate reports) describing the status of the case or a stipulated decision document.
