CORY LYNN RENSMON, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On July 21, 2023, petitioner filed (1) a "First Request for Production of Documents or Entry Directed to Respondent," (2) a "Motion for Leave to Conduct Discovery Pursuant to Rule 70(a)," and (3) a "Brief in Support of Motion for Leave to Conduct Discovery Pursuant to Rule 70(a)."
The Court notes that, pursuant to Rule 72 of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, a request for production of documents is initially served on the opposing party and not filed with the Court. Accordingly, petitioner's above-referenced request will be stricken.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's First Request for Production of Documents or Entry Directed to Respondent is hereby deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before August 18, 2023, respondent shall file an objection, if any, to petitioner's Motion for Leave to Conduct Discovery Pursuant to Rule 70(a). Failure to file a response may result in the granting of that Motion.
