Barbara A. O'Brien Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Patrick J. Urda Judge.
This case was previously set for trial at the Court's session scheduled to begin in Chicago, Illinois, on May 18, 2020. Due to concerns about COVID-19, the trial session was canceled, and this case was assigned to the undersigned.
On November 8, 2021, the parties filed a joint status report, in which they indicted that they have resolved all issues except for the adjustments related to petitioner's Schedule E flow-through entity and the proposed penalties for all three years. The parties further stated that they will continue to confer and engage in informal discovery with the hopes of resolving this case without a need for trial. The parties request that the Court order the parties to submit a status report in 60 days. We will grant the relief. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that, on or before January 10, 2022, the parties shall file a joint status report as to the then-present status of this case. 1
