JAMES F. SNOWDEN & JENNIFER K. SNOWDEN, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Courtney D. Jones Judge.
On November 18, 2022, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution. This case was called from the calendar of the Court's December 12, 2022, trial session for Baltimore, Maryland. There was no appearance by or on behalf of petitioners. Counsel for respondent appeared and was heard.
The Court then ordered petitioners to show cause, on or before January 11, 2023, why respondent's motion to dismiss should not be granted and a decision entered against them. On January 10, 2023, petitioner James F. Snowden filed a letter in response to the Court's Order to Show Cause and requested a new date for trial. Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution (Doc. 17) is denied. It is further
ORDERED that the Court's December 14, 2022, Order to Show Cause (Doc. 20) is hereby discharged. It is further
ORDERED that jurisdiction is no longer retained by this Division of the Court and this case is restored to the general docket for trial or other disposition.
