HARVIND S. UPPAL, ET AL., Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes Judge
Four of these cases were on the Court's October 25, 2021 trial calendar for San Francisco, California. Another four were then assigned to this division of the Court. The consolidated group has a massive number of substantiation issues that all parties agreed they would work on cooperatively to try to at least narrow whatever had to be tried. Respondent recently reported that progress continues to be made. Petitioners are in the process of providing basis substantiation for the individuals with flow-through losses and respondent is in the process of preparing a stipulation of settled issues which should provide a good summary of where things stand. The Court has no reason to move the cases to a pretrial-order track, and it is therefore
ORDERED that respondent file another status report on or before January 29, 2024 to describe the parties' progress in informal discovery, settling the cases, and narrowing the issues to be tried.
