REGINALD M. TAYLOR, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
DAVID GUSTAFSON JUDGE.
This case has been set for trial at the Tax Court's session in San Antonio beginning September 30, 2024 (see Docs. 64-65). We will order the filing of a status report.
This case is one of the oldest cases on the calendar for this upcoming trial session. The case concerns tax year 2017, which is the subject of a notice of deficiency issued by the IRS in February 2020. The petition commencing this case was mailed to the Court about 4 years ago in May 2020. This case was set for trial but then was continued on two previous occasions--for sessions in September 2021 (Doc. 9) and October 2022 (Doc. 15).
The second of those continuance was made at the request of petitioner Reginald Taylor in a motion (Doc. 17) that was filed by and consented to by the Commissioner. In that September 2022 motion and in a status report (Doc. 18) filed a few days later, the Commissioner explained that the parties expected to settle the case. Neither of the parties has made a substantive filing since that time.
The case has now been set for trial at the upcoming session beginning September 30, 2024. Given the history of this case, we would not expect to continue it a third time. It is
ORDERED that, no later than June 7, 2024, the parties shall file a status report.
