Michael Moran & Tami Moran, et al., Petitioners v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On August 22, 2022, a purported joint Motion to Consolidate was filed in Docket Numbers 6740-20, 6741-20, 7567-21, 7568-21, 7571-21, 25993-21, and 25994-21. However, review shows that counsel signing the motion on behalf of petitioners has not entered an appearance in two of the cases. Additionally, the motion indicates an intent to seek continuance in the five cases presently calendared for trial, but no such motions have been received at this time, and consolidation cannot be granted unless and until the cases are all in the same status. The parties would therefore be advised to file Motions for Continuance as a preface to, or simultaneously with, a Motion To Consolidate. Moreover, the motion appears to have been filed duplicatively under the erroneous designation "Motion for Continuance" in Docket No. 7568-21.
Accordingly, the premises considered, it is
ORDERED that the purported joint Motion To Consolidate filed August 22, 2022, shall be deemed stricken from the records in the cases at Docket Nos. 6740-20, 6741-20, 7567-21, 7568-21, 7571-21, 25993-21, and 25994-21. It is further
ORDERED that the purported "Motion for Continuance" filed August 22, 2022, at Docket No. 7568-21 shall be deemed stricken from the Court's record in that case.
