JOHN S. WINKLEY, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes Judge
This case is on the Court's September 12, 2021 San Francisco, California trial calendar. Petitioner moved without opposition for a continuance on August 22, 2022. We spoke with the parties today to gauge progress. Both agreed that petitioner's retention of counsel has materially improved the probability of settlement and both expect the case to wrap up within the next several weeks. It is therefore reasonable to move it to a status-report track, and it is
ORDERED that petitioner's August 22, 2022 motion for a continuance is granted in that this case is stricken from the Court's September 12, 2022 trial calendar for San Francisco, California. It is also
ORDERED that this division of the Court retains jurisdiction over this case. It is also
ORDERED that on or before October 21, 2022 the parties shall submit settlement documents or file a status report describing their progress in settling the case or narrowing the issues to be tried.
