JOHN E. PITTAS, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
On March 20, 2024, petitioner filed documents designated as Exhibit(s) at Docket Entry Nos. 10 and 11. These filings appear to consist of documents in the nature of evidence. We accordingly inform petitioner that these documents have not been received into evidence by the Court, and that, unless otherwise directed by the Court, the appropriate time to present documentary evidence for inclusion in the Court's record is at the trial of this matter.
If, in an effort to settle this matter before trial, petitioner would like respondent (i.e., the Internal Revenue Service) to review and consider certain documents, such as those that petitioner has filed with the Court, petitioner may provide those documents directly to the attorney representing respondent in this matter. The contact information for that attorney will be included in the answer that respondent files to the Petition. Respondent has 60 days from the date of service of the Petition within which to file the answer.
For further information, petitioner may consult "Guidance for Petitioners" under the "Rules & Guidance" tab on the Court's website at www.ustaxcourt.gov.
In consideration of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that at this time the Court will take no further action with respect to petitioner's Exhibit(s) at Docket Entry Nos. 10 and 11.
