CHRISTIAN ORTEGA & JHOANA MOROCHO, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On October 4, 2022, respondent filed in the above-docketed case a First Amended Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, on the grounds that no notice of deficiency, as authorized by section 6212 and required by section 6213(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.) to form the basis for a petition to this Court, had been sent to petitioners with respect to taxable year 2019, nor had respondent made any other determination with respect to petitioners' tax year 2019 that would confer jurisdiction on the Court, as of the date the petition herein was filed. Although the Court directed petitioners to file an objection, if any, to respondent's motion to dismiss, petitioners have failed to do so.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that respondent's First Amended Motion To Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction is granted, and this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
