RANDALL L. PIPER, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Courtney D. Jones, Judge
On April 4, 2024, respondent filed with the Court a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution. This case was called from the calendar of the Court's St. Louis, Missouri, trial session, on April 29, 2024. There was no appearance by or on behalf of petitioner. Counsel for respondent appeared and was heard.
Upon due consideration and for cause more fully appearing in the transcript of the proceeding, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution, filed April 4, 2024, is taken under advisement. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before May 29, 2024, petitioner shall show cause in writing why respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution should not be granted and a decision entered in this case. Failure to respond to this order will likely result in the granting of respondent's motion and entry of decision against petitioner. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction of this case is retained by the undersigned.
