Kenneth Steven Tucker Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Courtney D. Jones Judge
This case was called for trial at the remote trial session of the Court scheduled to commence at New York, New York, on April 26, 2021. When the case was called, both parties appeared and reported a settlement had been reached. Counsel for respondent orally read the terms of the settlement on the record. This Division of the Court retained jurisdiction and gave the parties 60 days to file a stipulated decision embodying that oral agreement, or alternatively, a status report. Instead, on June 25, 2021, respondent moved for entry of decision because petitioner had not signed the stipulated decision provided by respondent. The motion further advised that petitioner stated, among other things, he would not provide a signed decision to respondent.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that, on or before July 27, 2021, petitioner shall file an objection or response to respondent's Motion for Entry of Decision. Failure to comply with this order will likely result in the granting of respondent's motion and entry of decision as set forth at Exhibit A therein.
