Mary Alysa Suits, Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Respondent
ORDER
MAURICE B. FOLEY CHIEF JUDGE
On June 14, 2021, petitioner filed a Motion To Change Place of Trial to Peoria, Illinois, which improperly seeks to designate Peoria, Illinois, as the requested place of trial in this case. The Court's records reflect that this case is being conducted under the Court's regular tax case procedures, and not the small tax case procedures. Only cases conducted under the Court's small tax case procedures may be tried in Peoria, Illinois.
The premises considered, it is
ORDERED that, on or before July 20, 2021, petitioner shall file either (1) a Request for Place of Trial designating a city at which this Court tries regular tax cases or (2) a motion to add small tax case designation.
Petitioner is advised that if she still wishes to properly designate Peoria, Illinois, as the requested place of trial in this case, she should file a motion to add small tax case designation. Before doing so, petitioner should also decide whether she wishes to have this case conducted under the regular tax case procedures or the small tax case procedures. General information concerning deciding whether to elect regular or small case procedures is posted under the "Starting A Case" tab in the Guidance for Petitioners section of the Court's website at www.ustaxcourt.gov.
