DOUGLAS J. W. ROMANIK, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge.
On July 28, 2023, respondent filed an Answer (Index No. 6), with an attachment that contained an unredacted taxpayer identification number. Also on July 28, 2023, respondent filed a second Answer (Index No. 7).
Rule 27(a), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, provides that the parties shall refrain from including taxpayer identification number in filings made with the Court.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Answer (Index No. 6), filed July 28, 2023, is hereby deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case, is sealed, and shall not be inspected by any person or entity not a party to this case, except by Order of the Court.
Respondent is advised that, if he is seeking to amend a previous filing, he should file an amended filing and, if he is seeking to amend a certificate of service, he should file an amended certificate of service. If respondent is seeking to have a filing sealed, he should file a Motion to Seal.
