ASHLEY PFEIFER, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent


ORDER

Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge

On March 9, 2022, 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 December 13, 2022, the Court directed petitioner to pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee or submit an application for waiver thereof. No response to the Court's Order was received. Hence, by Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction entered February 10, 2023, this case was dismissed for petitioner's failure to pay the filing fee as directed by the Court.

Subsequently, on March 14, 2023, the Court received from petitioner payment of the Court's $60.00 filing fee. Accordingly, upon due consideration, it is

ORDERED that the Court's Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction, entered February 10, 2023, is hereby vacated and set aside. It is further

ORDERED that, on or before April 14, 2023, petitioner(s) shall file a Ratification of Petition, bearing original signature(s) (preferably in blue ink) and ratifying the petition previously filed. If no such Ratification of Petition is received by that date, the Court may dismiss this case AGAIN for lack of jurisdiction. Petitioner(s) should note that the Tax Court, unlike the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), does NOT recognize powers of attorney.
