KARL R. NICHOLLS, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On December 2, 2022, petitioner filed the petition commencing this case. On April 25, 2023, petitioner filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence. However, further review indicates that this filing appears to be more akin to a Motion for Leave to File a Redacted Petition. In addition, petitioner failed to lodge with the motion a proposed redacted petition that was identical to the original petition, other than the redaction.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's Motion to Suppress Evidence, filed April 25, 2023, is recharacterized as a Motion for Leave to File a Redacted Petition. It is further
ORDERED that petitioner's Motion for Leave to File Redacted Petition, filed April 25, 2023, is granted in that, on or before June 5, 2023, petitioner shall file a redacted petition that is identical to the petition filed on December 2, 2022, other than the petitioner's social security numbers are redacted. Petitioner should not file an additional Statement of Taxpayer Identification Number. It is further
ORDERED that the original petition, filed December 2, 2022, is temporarily sealed. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of the petition filed in this case on December 2, 2022, on petitioner. Petitioner is reminded that the redacted petition should be an exact duplicate of the petition filed December 2, 2022, including all pages thereof and attachments thereto, with petitioner's social security numbers redacted.
