DAWN PHELAN, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Joseph W. Nega Judge.
The Court has identified this case as needing an additional status report due on or before November 29, 2023, to ensure that that the parties are diligently working on preparation for trial or other ultimate resolution.
This case is among the oldest on the January 29, 2024, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, docket. It appears that there is a notable lack of progress since the petition was filed.
The Court reminds the parties that whatever has been the history of each of the cases on the January 29, 2024, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, calendar, the parties should not assume that another unopposed or joint motion for continuance will be routinely granted.
That being so, it is
ORDERED that unless a proposed stipulated decision is submitted sooner, on or before November 29, 2023, the parties shall file a joint status report (or separate reports if a joint report is not possible) of the then-present status of this case. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall send with petitioner's copy of this Order information concerning tax clinics available at the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, calendar usually sent with the Notice of Setting Case for Trial that may offer free legal assistance to low-income taxpayers in the event that petitioner should wish to seek assistance with respect to this case generally. A list of these clinics is also available on the Tax Court's website, www.ustaxcourt.gov. Petitioner is advised that tax clinics generally provide assistance and advice to low-income taxpayers who have disputes with the IRS. However, tax clinics are not part of the IRS or the Court, and the Tax Court does not endorse any particular clinic.
