WHISTLEBLOWER 972-17W, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Emin Toro, Judge.
This case was assigned to the undersigned judge for trial or other disposition on December 14, 2021.
Now before the Court is petitioner's Motion for Leave to File Supplement to the Administrative Record (Doc. 127) filed on February 9, 2021. The Commissioner filed a Response to petitioner's Motion (Doc. 156) on January 12, 2023, and petitioner filed a Reply (Doc. 159) on January 26, 2023.
Petitioner's Motion argues that the Court should supplement the administrative record in this case with "relevant excerpts" from the transcript of the criminal trial of one of the targets named by petitioner. Petitioner alleges that the excerpts "directly support[] petitioner's claim that petitioner's disclosures . . . triggered a set of communications that caused [the IRS] to reinstate the criminal case." Pet'r's Mot. ¶ 13. But petitioner's Motion does not attach the excerpts.
Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that, on or before March 29, 2023, petitioner will file a status report attaching the transcript excerpts that petitioner seeks to add to the administrative record in this case.
