JUAN MENDOZA & MIREYA DAVIDSON, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Emin Toro, Judge
The Court has described the procedural history in this case in prior orders and does not repeat that history here.
Pending before the Court are various motions filed by respondent. On September 10, 2024, respondent filed a Status Report (Doc. 58) requesting that the "Court rule on Respondent's four outstanding motions as set forth in paragraph 2 [of respondent's Status Report]."
Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Compel Responses to Interrogatories filed November 21, 2023 (Doc. 30), is granted, and petitioners shall respond to respondent's Interrogatories by October 18, 2024. It is further
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Compel Production of Documents filed November 21, 2023 (Doc. 31), is granted in that petitioners shall, on or before October 18, 2024, produce at IRS Office of Chief Counsel, 33 Maiden Lane, 14th Floor, New York, New York, 10038, for inspection and copying from day to day for so long as is reasonably necessary to examine and copy, the documents set forth in respondent' Request for Production of Documents served on petitioners October 19, 2023. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before November 1, 2024, the parties shall file with the Court a joint report (or, if that is not expedient, then separate reports) describing the status of this case. The report should also include a discussion of the status of any remaining discovery issues.
Petitioners are warned that their failure to comply with this Order may result in the imposition of sanctions, including a possible dismissal of this case.
