PRINCE AMUN-RA HOTEP ANKH MEDUTY, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Patrick J. Urda Judge.
This case is currently calendared on the Court's Atlanta, Georgia trial session, scheduled to begin January 9, 2023.
On October 30, 2022, petitioner Prince Amun-Ra Hotep Ankh Meduty filed a first stipulation of facts that was only signed by him. Rule 91(b) of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure states that "[s]tipulations required under this Rule shall be in writing [and] signed by the parties thereto or by their counsel." The first stipulation of facts filed by Mr. Meduty does not bear the Commissioner's signature. Accordingly, the documents do not show the parties' "complete and qualified agreement." Rule 91(a), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. We will therefore strike this document from the Court's record.
On October 30, 2022, Mr. Meduty filed a motion to compel production of documents and amended it the next day. Before acting on this motion, we will direct the Commissioner to file a response to the motion.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that Mr. Meduty's first stipulation of facts is stricken from the Court's record. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before November 21, 2022, the Commissioner shall file a response to Mr. Meduty's motion to compel production of documents, as amended.
