JOHNNY SANCHEZ, et al., Petitioners v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes, Judge.
These cases were on the Court's January 27, 2014 trial calendar for San Francisco, California. The Court put them on a long-term status-report track to see what happened in a related criminal case and in petitioners' ongoing negotiations with IRS Appeals, and to allow respondent to decide petitioner Johnny Sanchez's request for innocent-spouse relief. It turned out these related issues also depended on the outcome of the criminal trial. The pandemic started delaying that criminal trial, but the parties recently reported that the criminal case has now pled out. This should finally accelerate settlement talks, and it is
ORDERED that respondent file another status report on or before December 21, 2022 to describe the parties' progress toward settlement.
