Teresita L. Stokes Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge
By Order dated May 13, 2021, the Court directed petitioner to file an amended petition and pay the Court's $60.00 filing fee. On June 8, 2021, using the Court's amended petition form provided to petitioner, petitioner filed a document in which petitioner indicates petitioner no longer wishes to prosecute this case. The Court filed that document as petitioner's first amended petition. Petitioner's filing of that document suggests that petitioner does not intend to file a proper amended petition and pay the Court's filing fee.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's first amended petition is recharacterized as a motion to dismiss. It is further
ORDERED that petitioner's motion is granted in that this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the grounds that petitioner failed to file a proper amended petition and pay the Court's filing fee.
