Michael Edward Rogers Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge
On November 11, 2021, petitioner electronically filed a letter. On the same date petitioner also electronically filed a miscellany of documents at Docket Index Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. These filings appear either to be duplicative (e.g., two additional copies of the notice of determination that had already been filed with the petition) or to consist of documents that are in the nature of evidence. Petitioner is advised that these documents have not been received into evidence by the Court and that, unless otherwise directed by the Court, the appropriate time to present documentary evidence for inclusion in the Court's record is at the trial of this matter. Evidentiary materials generally are not filed with the Court.
If, in an effort to settle this matter before trial, petitioner would like respondent to review and consider certain documents, such as those he has filed with the Court, petitioner is advised to provide those documents directly to respondent's counsel. The contact information for respondent's counsel is included in respondent's answer to the petition, filed December 10, 2021.
For more information, petitioner is directed to consult "Guidance for Petitioners" under the "Rules & Guidance" tab on the Court's website at www.ustaxcourt.gov.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's filings at Docket Index Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are hereby deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case. It is further
ORDERED that the filing at Docket Index No. 17 is recharacterized as petitioner's Addendum to Letter Dated November 11, 2021. It is further
ORDERED that the Notice of Docket Change for Docket Entry No. 17, filed December 13, 2021, is hereby deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case.
