ORDER AFFIRMING THE RECOMMENDED
DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
No objection having been filed to the Magistrate Judge’s Recommended
Decision filed April 5, 2017 (ECF No. 15), and the Court having performed a
de novo review in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), the Court hereby
accepts the Recommended Decision.
Accordingly, the Court hereby (1) finds that the Petitioner has complied
with all statutory requirements necessary to support the administrative

same; (2) finds that the Respondent has failed to comply with the Court’s show
cause order (ECF No. 12); (3) GRANTS the Petitioner’s Petition to Enforce IRS
Summons (ECF No. 1); (4) ORDERS Respondent, with respect to the relevant

Sewall Street, Room 311, August, Maine, within seven days of this Order; and,
(5) CAUTIONS Respondent that failure to comply with this Order within the
