ROSS CHARLES SKOCILICH, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Patrick J. Urda Judge
On May 31, 2024, the Commissioner filed a status report in this case indicating that petitioner Ross Charles Skocilich failed to fully comply with his obligations to provide complete tax returns for 2016 though 2018 and renewed his motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution.
On June 21, 2024, the Court held a conference call with the parties to discuss the current status and how to move this case forward. Mr. Skocilich took the position that he understood that the materials that he completed and submitted were sufficient to satisfy his obligations. After a discussion regarding the documentation required, the Court directed Mr. Skocilich to provide the Commissioner with his tax returns for the tax years referenced above. The Court warned that if Mr. Skocilich did not fully comply within two weeks that the Court is inclined to grant pending motion. In light of the discussion, it is
ORDERED that, on or before July 8, 2024, the Commissioner shall file a status report apprising the Court of the then-present status of this case.
