ORDER
Plaintiff,
15-cv-289-bbc
v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This case for a tax refund is stayed pending resolution of a related case in United
States Tax Court. As instructed by the court, the government has submitted a status update.
In particular, the government says that the tax court held a trial in December 2015 and the
parties were permitted to file posttrial briefs by January 28, 2016, which means the case is
now ready for decision. Accordingly, I will not yet lift the stay. If the tax court has not
issued a decision by April 11, 2016, the government should provide another status update.
If the tax court issues a decision before then, either party may notify the court. If neither
party responds by April 11, 2016, I will lift the stay.
Entered this 8th day of February, 2016.
