Colette M. Van Straaten Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
MAURICE B. FOLEY, CHIEF JUDGE
Upon review of the records in the above-docketed matter at Docket No. 24331-21 and that in the case at Docket No. 16921-21, it has come to the attention of the Court that the just-cited cases represent a situation analogous to a duplication of proceedings. More specifically, on September 27, 2021, petitioner attempted to file electronically an amended petition at Docket No. 16921-21. However, the document was improperly filed as a petition to commence a new case at this Docket No. 24331-21. Accordingly, upon due consideration of the foregoing and the records in the cases at Docket Nos. 16921-21 and 24331-21, it is
ORDERED that, on the Court's own motion, the case at Docket No. 24331-21 is closed on the ground of duplication.
