MURPHY HOLLOW, LLC, PIEDMONT PRIVATE EQUITY MANAGER, LLC, TAX MATTERS PARTNER, ET AL., Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Patrick J. Urda, Judge
These consolidated cases are scheduled for trial at the Court's special trial session in Jacksonville, Florida beginning September 9, 2024. On June 27, 2024, the Commissioner filed motions to compel production of documents and interrogatories. In the time since, petitioner filed objections to these motions and lodged expert reports. We believe that petitioner's responses and expert reports may have answered certain of the questions underlying the motions to compel. It would be useful to the Court for the Commissioner to file a status report explaining whether any of the discovery requests have, in fact, been obviated by subsequent action.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that, on or before August 27, 2024, the Commissioner shall file a report informing the Court as to any points in the motions to compel that have become moot or have otherwise been resolved.
