LEONEL A. GALDAMEZ SARMIENTO & JOHANNA Y. GALDAMEZ, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
KATHLEEN KERRIGAN CHIEF JUDGE
By Order served April 20, 2022, the Court directed petitioner Johanna Y. Galdamez to file a ratification of petition. On May 19, 2022, petitioners electronically filed a ratification of petition signed by both petitioners. However, petitioners' signatures on the ratification of petition were typed. A typed signature is not an imaged or digitized signature that is acceptable to the Court. See DAWSON FAQs on the Court's website, www.ustaxcourt.gov, by clicking on "eFiling & Case Maintenance", then "DAWSON", then "FAQs" under Reference Materials.
In view of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that petitioners' ratification of petition, filed May 19, 2022, is stricken from the Court's record in this case. It is further
ORDERED that the due date for petitioner Johanna Y. Galdamez to file a ratification of petition is extended to October 25, 2022. Failure to comply with this Order may result in the dismissal for lack of jurisdiction of this case as to petitioner Johanna Y. Galdamez.
