JOSEPH M. ROACH, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Diana L. Leyden, Special Trial Judge.
This case is calendared for trial at the April 11, 2023, San Antonio, Texas, Trial Session of the Court.
On May 31, 2022, petitioner timely filed a petition challenging a notice of determination dated February 22, 2022, issued for tax year 2018. Petitioner's petition consisted of 19 pages and included unredacted personal identifying information.
Rule 27(a), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, generally provides that in an electronic or paper filing with the Court, a party or nonparty making the filing should refrain from including or should take appropriate steps to redact certain specified information, such as taxpayer identification numbers and financial account numbers. Due to the unredacted personal identifying information appearing in the petition, the Court will take steps to seal petitioner's petition to protect his information.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that on the Court's own motion the unredacted petition filed to commence this case on May 31, 2022, is sealed to public view.
