BENTLEY MENDOZA, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
KATHLEEN KERRIGAN CHIEF JUDGE
On February 16, 2024, respondent made an electronic filing at Docket Index No. 10, designating it as an Answer. However, the filing appears to consist solely of a copy of the notice of deficiency upon which this case is based and thus does not comply with Rule 36(b) of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure as to the form and content of a proper answer. That being so, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Answer at Docket Index No. 10 is hereby deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case.
Respondent is reminded that his answer in this case remains due on or before April 15, 2024.
