JANICE A. WIESLANDER, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley, Chief Judge
This case is scheduled for trial at the remote session of the Court scheduled to commence on May 9, 2022, for Des Moines, Iowa. On April 8, 2022, petitioner filed a Motion for Continuance. Respondent filed an Objection thereto on April 15, 2022, and following the Court's Order, respondent filed a Status Report on April 27, 2022. The Report advised that petitioner's power of attorney, Ronald Mountsier, intends to file a formal entry of appearance on behalf of petitioner should the Court continue this case from the aforementioned remote session. Accordingly, the "parties agreed that a continuance from the present May 9, 2022 session until the next remote trial session after June 2022 is appropriate."
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that, on the Court's own motion, this case shall proceed remotely. It is further
ORDERED that petitioner's Motion for Continuance, filed April 8, 2022, is granted and this case is hereby stricken from trial at the session of the Court scheduled to commence at Des Moines, Iowa on May 9, 2022, and is calendared for trial at the remote session of the Court scheduled to commence on October 31, 2022. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall also serve on the parties: (1) a Notice of Remote Proceeding that shall contain comprehensive instructions on how to participate in the October 31, 2022, remote proceeding; and (2) a copy of the Standing Pretrial Order for the Court's October 31, 2022, remote trial session.
