JEFFREY STOVALL, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge.
The Tax Court is separate and independent from the Internal Revenue Service. Because the Petition filed to commence this case on April 29, 2024, has not been ratified by petitioner after the Court provided an opportunity to do so, it is
ORDERED that this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
The Court, on its own motion, will consider reinstating the case if, as previously directed, petitioner files a Ratification of Petition within 30 days from the date of service of this Order. Petitioner is reminded to include the docket number above on any documents filed with the Court.
