LISA MARIE OBERG, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On September 22, 2021, correspondence from or on behalf of petitioner, not accompanied by payment of the Court's filing fee, was filed as a petition to commence the above-docketed case. By Order served January 4, 2022, the Court directed petitioner to file an Amended Petition and to pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee or submit an Application for Waiver of Filing Fee for consideration. No response to the Court's Order was received. Hence, by Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction entered August 24, 2022, this case was dismissed for petitioner's failure to pay the filing fee as directed by the Court.
Subsequently, on September 12, 2022, the Court received from petitioner payment of the Court's $60.00 filing fee. At that juncture, the Court on September 13, 2022, vacated the Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction and reopened the case. By Order served November 28, 2022, the Court then gave petitioner a final opportunity to file an Amended Petition. That Order also warned petitioner that if the Amended Petition is not received by that date, the Court might AGAIN dismiss this case for lack of jurisdiction. However, no Amended Petition has been received.
Accordingly, the premises considered, it is
ORDERED that, on the Court's own motion, this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that petitioner failed to file a proper Amended Petition.
