Claude A. Raines Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Maurice B. Foley, Chief Judge
On February 26, 2021, the Court received from petitioner a letter, which was filed as an imperfect petition to commence this case in order to protect petitioner's interests to the extent possible. By Order dated May 17, 2021, the Court directed petitioner to file an amended petition and pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee for this case. On June 4, 2021, petitioner filed a Letter Dated May 26, 2021, indicating that this matter has been resolved with the IRS and he does not wish to continue to prosecute this case. Petitioner's letter suggests that petitioner does not intend to file an amended petition and pay the filing fee.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that, on the Court's own motion, this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the grounds that petitioner has failed to file an amended petition and pay the Court's filing fee.
