Tamara W. Ashford Judge
This case is currently calendared for trial at the Session of the Court commencing on January 29, 2024, in Tampa, Florida. On January 23, 2024, pursuant to the Court's Standing Pretrial Order served on the parties on September 13, 2023, respondent filed a Status Report, apprising the Court of the then present status of this case. Respondent reports that petitioners timely filed their Petition with the Court, supporting his explanation with a partial copy of the notice of deficiency that petitioners actually disputed and a copy of the certified mail list reflecting the mailing of this notice of deficiency to petitioners on April 21, 2023. Respondent also reports that on January 5, 2024, the parties filed a Proposed Stipulated Decision; however, the proposed decision does not address an increased deficiency amount from the April 21, 2023, notice of deficiency.

Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that the parties' Proposed Stipulated Decision, filed January 5, 2024, and referenced as docket entry number 11, is stricken from the Court's record. It is further
ORDERED that this case is stricken for trial from the January 29, 2024, Tampa, Florida Trial Session of the Court. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction of this case is retained by this Division of the Court. It is further
ORDERED that the parties shall, on or before March 11, 2024, electronically submit to the Court a revised agreed stipulated decision document.
