Jude Francis Nwankwo Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Albert G. Lauber Judge
This case is calendared on the Court's March 28, 2022, Los Angeles, California, trial session. On January 20, 2022, respondent filed a motion to dismiss for failure to prop erly prosecute, to which petitioner responded on March 1, 2022. On March 11, 2022, we issued an Order denying without prejudice respondent's motion to dismiss, but advising petitioner that "he must appear at the calendar call on March 28, 2022" or else respondent would be permitted to refile that motion.
Later that evening respondent filed a Motion for Continuance, representing that he had received our Order and spoken to petitioner. He represents that, after his conversation with petitioner, he believes that this case may be susceptible to settlement, but that more time is needed for petitioner to gather information and documentation. Petitioner does not object to the granting of this Motion. Therefore, we will grant respondent's Motion, and petitioner no longer needs to attend the calendar call on March 28, 2022. In consideration of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that the respondent's Motion for Continuance, filed March 11, 2022, is granted. It is further
ORDERED that this case is stricken from the Court's March 28, 2022, Los Angeles, California, trial session, and is continued. It is further
ORDERED that this case is returned to the general docket for trial or other disposition. 1
