DANIEL JAMES WHITE, Petitioner, v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Tamara W. Ashford Judge
This case is currently calendared for trial at the Session of the Court commencing on January 29, 2024, in Tampa, Florida. On January 8, 2024, respondent's counsel filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution. Therein, respondent's counsel states that since at least September 13, 2023, when the Court served the Notice Setting Case For Trial on the parties, on several occasions he called the telephone number listed on petitioner's Petition and left several voicemail messages; to date, petitioner has failed to return his messages and thus petitioner's views regarding the granting of the motion are unknown. It would be helpful for the Court to hear from petitioner regarding the motion and the status of this case. Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that petitioner shall contact the chambers of the undersigned Judge at (202) 521-0822 as soon as possible for the purpose of scheduling a conference call to discuss the Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution, filed January 8, 2024, and the status of this case. It is further
ORDERED that petitioner shall show cause in writing, on or before January 23, 2024, why this case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution.
