JAMES M. MEYER, TRANSFEREE, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Ronald L. Buch Judge.
On May 13, 2024, the petitioner filed a Motion to Compel Discovery relating to his first set of interrogatories and requests for production. On May 29, 2024, the Commissioner filed a response to petitioner's motion. On June 7, 2024, the petitioner filed a Motion for Leave to File a Reply to the Commissioner's response. Rather than grant that motion, we will set the motion for hearing. We remind the parties that Rule 50(c) of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure permits a party to submit a written statement along with any supporting documents before or at the time for hearing on a motion.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's Motion for Leave to File Reply to Response to Motion to Compel Discovery filed June 7, 2024, is denied. It is further
ORDERED that petitioner's Motion to Compel Discovery filed May 13, 2024, is set for hearing at the Court's Wednesday, June 26, 2024, Washington, DC, special hearing session to be conducted remotely at 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). The undersigned will preside. It is further
ORDERED that the parties may submit a written statement under Rule 50(c) by 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), June 24, 2024, in lieu of (or in addition to) appearing for hearing on petitioner's Motion to Compel Discovery. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall serve on the parties a Notice of Remote Proceeding that shall contain comprehensive instructions on how to participate in the above-referenced remote proceeding.
