DANIEL CHASE VANATTA, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
On March 31, 2024, petitioner made two electronic filings with the Court, designating them as (1) a First Supplement to Petition, at Docket Index No. 6, and (2) an Answer to Amended Petition, at Docket Index No. 7. These two filings appear to include documents in the nature of evidence. We accordingly inform petitioner that those documents have not been received into evidence by the Court, and that, unless otherwise directed by the Court, the appropriate time to present documentary evidence for inclusion in the Court's record is at the trial of this matter.
If, in an effort to settle this matter before trial, petitioner would like respondent (i.e., the Internal Revenue Service) to review and consider certain documents, petitioner may provide those documents directly to the attorney representing respondent in this matter. Petitioner may find the contact information for that attorney in respondent's Answer, filed March 7, 2024.
For further information, petitioner may consult "Guidance for Petitioners" under the "Rules & Guidance" tab on the Court's website at www.ustaxcourt.gov.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's above-referenced filing at Docket Index No. 6 is recharacterized as petitioner's Exhibit(s). Because petitioner's filing at Docket Index No. 7 consists of documents appearing elsewhere in the record and is therefore duplicative, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's filing at Docket Index No. 7 is deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case.
