SOKHOMANETEE D. SON, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent


ORDER

Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge

On July 13, 2022, petitioner filed an Answer to Supplement to Petition. However, further review indicates that this filing appears to be a Motion for Leave to File Amended Petition. The motion was not in compliance with Rule 41 of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, insofar as the proposed amendment to the pleading was not lodged contemporaneously with the filing of the motion.

In pertinent part, Rule 41(a) of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that "A motion for leave to amend a pleading shall state the reasons for the amendment and shall be accompanied by the proposed amendment. The amendment to the pleading shall not be incorporated into the motion but rather shall be separately set forth and consistent with the requirements of Rule 23 regarding form and style of papers filed with the Court." Stated otherwise, the amended pleading should be set forth in a separate document and lodged at the same time that a motion for leave to amend is filed.

Upon due consideration, it is

ORDERED that petitioner's Answer to Supplement to Petition, filed July 13, 2022, is recharacterized as petitioner's Motion for Leave to File Amended Petition. It is further

ORDERED that petitioner's Motion for Leave to File Amended Petition is denied.
