MICHAEL RAY MORENO, ET AL., Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
MARK V. HOLMES JUDGE
These cases are on the December 18, 2023 Los Angeles, California trial calendar, and are the oldest ones on that calendar. We had thought they were finally headed to settlement, but today we learned that Ms. Cleveland died two weeks ago. It is therefore
ORDERED that these cases are stricken from the Court's December 18, 2023 Los Angeles, California trial calendar. It is also
ORDERED that this division of the Court retains jurisdiction over them. It is also
ORDERED that on or before January 16, 2024 respondent file a status report discussing, at least, any progress in who may be substituted for Ms. Cleveland as a party in her case, any progress in transmitting respondent's administrative files in electronic form to Mr. Moreno, and the parties' views in the Moreno case on whether it makes sense to sever the cases if the parties in that case settle.
