KORY C. SHAY & TABATHA L. SHAY, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
The petition filed to commence this case on May 14, 2021, did not bear the original signatures of petitioners or the original signature of a practitioner admitted to practice before the Tax Court, as required by the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. By Order dated August 6, 2021, the Court directed petitioners on or before September 14, 2021, to ratify and affirm the petition filed on petitioner's behalf in this case. Petitioners have not complied with the Court's Order.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that the time within which petitioners shall file a Ratification of Petition, bearing petitioners' original signatures (preferably in blue ink), is extended to August 17, 2022. If no such ratification of petition is received by August 17, 2022, the Court may dismiss this case for lack of jurisdiction. Petitioners should note that the ratification of petition may not be filed electronically.
