Nicole D. Spruill Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
David Gustafson Judge.
This case was scheduled to be tried at a session of the Tax Court in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, beginning February 7, 2022. However, on January 14, 2022, the Court held a conference call with counsel for the parties, during which the parties jointly requested a continuance, which the Court indicated it would grant. The parties stated a strong preference for an in-person trial; they expressed an expectation that the trial of this case will take two days; and they requested that the Court schedule a special trial session in the near future. The undersigned judge acknowledged those comments but stated that he is unable to predict when the trial may take place. It is
ORDERED, pursuant to the parties' oral request, that this case is continued and is stricken from the calendar of the Court's upcoming Winston-Salem, North Carolina, session beginning February 7, 2022, and that the undersigned judge retains jurisdiction over this case.
