ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Courtney D. Jones Judge
This case was called from the calendar of the Court's February 28, 2022, remote trial session for Richmond, Virginia. There was no appearance by or on behalf of petitioner. Respondent appeared and was heard. Subsequently, the undersigned retained jurisdiction of the case.
On March 2, 2022, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution in which respondent requests that the Court enter a decision that there is a deficiency in tax due from petitioner of $5,077, as set forth in the notice of deficiency dated October 26, 2020, and no penalty under I.R.C. § 6662(a)(1) for 2018.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that, on or before April 18, 2022, petitioner shall show cause in writing why respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution should not be granted and a decision entered in this case. Failure to respond to this Order will likely result in the granting of respondent's motion and entry of decision against petitioner.
