MUNKH OYUBAATAR, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Diana L. Leyden Special Trial Judge
On August 18, 2022, petitioner filed a First Amended Petition. Petitioner's First Amended Petition consisted of 4 pages and includes unredacted personal identifying information. That same day, petitioner filed First Supplemental Petition. The Court believes that petitioner meant to file a Supplement to Amended Petition. The Court will recharacterize petitioner's First Supplemental Petition, filed August 18, 2022, as petitioner's Supplement to Amended Petition.
Rule 27(a), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, generally provides that in an electronic or paper filing with the Court, a party or nonparty making the filing should refrain from including or should take appropriate steps to redact certain specified information, such as taxpayer identification numbers and financial account numbers. Due to the unredacted personal identifying information appearing in the first amended petition, the Court will take steps to seal petitioner's first amended petition to protect his information. For cause, it is
ORDERED that on the Court's own motion the unredacted First Amended Petition filed on August 18, 2022, is sealed to public view. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall remove the unredacted First Amended Petition from the Court's public record, and the unredacted First Amended Petition shall be retained by the Court in a sealed file, which shall not be opened for inspection by any person or entity except by Order of the Court. It is further
ORDERED that petitioner's First Supplemental Petition, filed August 18, 2022, is hereby recharacterized as petitioner's Supplement to Amended Petition.
