Raymond J. Taylor & Sherry C. Taylor, et al., Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes Judge.
These cases are on the Court's September 12, 2022 trial calendar for San Francisco, California, and all arise from the continuing difficulties state-legal marijuana businesses have with the IRS. Petitioners in all three moved without objection for continuances to try to settle at IRS Appeals. We spoke with the parties on August 11, 2022. All agreed that the probability of successful settlement at Appeals was at least reasonable and that it made sense to consolidate the cases in the meantime. It is therefore
ORDERED that petitioners pending motions for continuance in each of these cases are granted in that they are stricken from the Court's September 12, 2022 trial calendar for San Francisco, California. It is also
ORDERED that this division of the Court retains jurisdiction over these cases. It is also
ORDERED that these cases are consolidated for trial, briefing, and opinion. It is also
ORDERED that on or before December 12, 2022 the parties shall file a joint status report describing their progress toward settlement at IRS Appeals.
