SIH PARTNERS LLLP, EXPLORER PARTNER CORP., TAX MATTERS PARTNER, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Christian N. Weiler Judge
The Court held a conference with the parties on November 2, 2022, to discuss the status of this case and respondent's Motion to Review Sufficiency of Petitioner's Objections to Respondent's First Request for Admissions. The parties informed the Court that this case is no longer before IRS Appeals and, therefore, some (or all) of the issues raised in Petitioner's Objection are no longer relevant. The parties also advised the Court that they are now prepared to resume discovery in this matter and plan to work toward resolution of respondent's First Request for Admissions.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that on or before January 6, 2023, the parties shall file, either jointly or separately, a written status report informing the Court of their progress and the then present status of the case. It is further
ORDERED that the Court will take respondent's Motion to Review Sufficiency of Petitioner's Objections to Respondent's First Request for Admissions under advisement and will not issue a ruling on the motion until after further discussions with the parties are held. It is further
ORDERED that a status conference (via Microsoft Teams) with the Court and the parties herein is set for January 11, 2023, at 11:00a.m. (EST) to discuss the status of the case and whether or not respondent's Motion to Review Sufficiency of Petitioner's Objections to Respondent's First Request for Admissions is moot. The Court will separately furnish counsel for the parties the Teams information for the status conference.
