Achraf Mouftadi & Imane El Assri, Petitioners v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Respondent


ORDER

Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge.

On November 18, 2021, the petition to commence this case was electronically filed. When a petition is electronically filed with the Court, the combination of the username and password of the individual eFiling the petition serves as the signature of the filer. See DAWSON User Guides on the Court's website, www.ustaxcourt.gov. The petition in this case was electronically filed using petitioner Achraf Mouftadi's username and password, and thus the petition is treated as having been properly executed and filed by Achraf Mouftadi.

The petition also bears the signature of Imane El Assri. However, the petition was not properly executed by Imane El Assri as the signature on the petition was made using a computer font which is not recognized by the Court as a proper signature. Thus, Imane El Assri will be required to file a Ratification of Petition ratifying and affirming the petition filed to commence this case.

In view of the foregoing, it is

ORDERED that on or before September 30, 2022, petitioner Imane El Assri, if such be the case, that she has read the petition filed on November 18, 2021, and ratify and affirms the filing of said document. Petitioner Imane El Assri should note that an actual signature on a PDF or a signature using an authentication program (e.g., Adobe or DocuSign) are acceptable. For more information about signatures, please refer to Tax Court Rule 23(a)(3) and the DAWSON FAQs available on the Tax Court website. Failure to comply with this Order may result in the dismissal of this case for lack of jurisdiction. It is further

ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to attach to this Order a form that petitioner Imane El Assri may use to comply with this Order.
