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 but the parties reported that the criminal case has now pled out. Respondent recently reported that he sent petitioners a written settlement proposal which petitioners are reviewing. This long-running case may be nearing an end, and it is
ORDERED that the parties file settlement documents or respondent file another status report on or before May 1, 2023 to describe the parties' progress toward settlement.
