RANCH SPRINGS, LLC, RANCH SPRINGS INVESTORS, LLC, TAX MATTERS PARTNER, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
ALBERT G. LAUBER, JUDGE
This case was calendared for trial on December 11, 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia, but the trial date was continued. On November 9, 2023, the case was reassigned to the undersigned for trial or other disposition. By Order served November 9, 2023, we directed the parties to file, by December 11, 2023, a status report proposing a new trial date and a revised pre-trial schedule.
Prior to the continuance, the parties were operating under pre-trial schedule set forth by Order dated April 19, 2023, and subsequently modified on September 12, 2023. That schedule directed the parties to exchange and lodge with the Court, on or before December 1, 2023, "any written expert rebuttal reports, including documents relied on by experts." Although we have asked the parties to propose a revised pre-trial schedule, we will leave in place the December 1 deadline for lodging and exchanging expert rebuttal reports and workpapers.
In consideration of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that the parties shall exchange and lodge with the Court any ex-pert rebuttal reports and expert rebuttal workpapers by December 1, 2023. It is further
ORDERED that the parties are released from the obligation to comply with any other deadlines contained in the pre-trial schedule set forth in the Court's Order served April 19, 2023 (as modified on September 12, 2023). New deadlines will be set after the Court receives the parties' status report scheduled to be filed by December 11, 2023.
