GERAMIE TYE & JENNIFER S. TYE, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On September 7, 2022, the Court entered an Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction on the ground that the Court's $60.00 filing fee had not been paid. On September 12, 2022, petitioners paid the Court's filing fee.
Upon further review of the Petition, filed April 29, 2022, the Court notes that the document does not bear the original signature of petitioner Jennifer S. Tye or of a practitioner admitted to practice before this Court.
Accordingly, and for cause, it is
ORDERED that the Court's Order of Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction entered in this case is hereby vacated and set aside. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before October 12, 2022, petitioner Jennifer S. Tye shall file in paper form (not electronic) a ratification of petition bearing an original signature (not a photocopy), preferably in blue ink, in which she states, if such be the case, that she has read the Petition filed on April 29, 2022, and that she ratifies and affirms the filing of said document. Petitioners are advised that failure to file such a ratification of petition on or before such date may result in the dismissal of petitioner Jennifer S. Tye from this case or other appropriate action by the Court. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall attach to the copy of this Order served on petitioners a form that petitioner Jennifer S. Tye may use for purposes of ratifying the Petition.
