RONALD DAVID SUTTON & KIMBERLY ANN SUTTON, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Courtney D. Jones Judge
On March 13, 2023, respondent filed a Status Report (Doc. 17) reporting that a basis for settlement was reached. This case was stricken from trial at the session of the Court scheduled to commence on April 3, 2023, in San Francisco, California. This Division of the Court retained jurisdiction and directed the parties to file a proposed stipulated decision. Instead, on July 3, 2023, respondent filed a Motion for Entry of Decision. The motion states, among other things, that the parties were unable to properly execute the proposed decision document attached to respondent's motion at Exhibit A. Further, respondent states that attempts to contact petitioners were unsuccessful.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that, on or before July 24, 2023, petitioners shall file an objection or response to respondent's Motion for Entry of Decision. Failure to respond to this order will likely result in the granting of respondent's motion and entry of a decision that reflects that there is no deficiency due from petitioners for tax year 2018 and no penalty pursuant to I.R.C. § 6662 for tax year 2018.
