DAVID ROMO, et al Petitioners, v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes Judge.
The lower-numbered case was originally on the February 22, 2016 San Francisco, California trial calendar, but we stayed most work on it while Mr. Romo was in federal custody. Docket number 8365-15, filed by Thomas Clark Dashiell, was first on the Court's March 7, 2016 trial calendar. The Dashiell case was then continued 6 times, ultimately coming to rest on this division's San Francisco trial calendar for October 25, 2021. Because of the close connection between the two cases we consolidated them.
The parties recently reported that they continue to meet and trade computations. Their continued cooperation makes it reasonable to keep these cases on a status-report track, and it is
ORDERED that the parties file a joint status report on or before August 15, 2023 describing their progress toward settlement or a narrowing of the issues to be tried.
