                  2.   Based upon Mr. Hartman's representations, I                     
                  requested the Court to continue this matter and                      
                  also filed a reply to the Government's Motion to                     
                  Dismiss his case for failure to properly                             
                  prosecute.                                                           
                           *    *    *    *    *    *    *                             
                  4.   Based upon Petitioner Vernon W. Hartman,                        
                  Jr.'s, representations, I scheduled several                          
                  meetings with Respondent's counsel, Joellyn R.                       
                  Cattell, Esquire.                                                    
                  5.   On each occasion, I was forced to cancel                        
                  such meetings because of my inability to get any                     
                  information from Petitioner Vernon W. Hartman,                       
                  Jr.                                                                  
                  6.   I have made myself available at all times,                      
                  both day and night, to meet with Petitioner                          
                  Vernon W. Hartman, Jr., including offering to                        
                  meet him at my home because of his "busy"                            
                  schedule.                                                            
                  7.   Notwithstanding my flexibility and willing-                     
                  ness to meet, I have been unable to have any                         
                  meaningful meetings and/or discussions with                          
                  Petitioner Vernon W. Hartman, Jr., to properly                       
                  prosecute his case.                                                  

                  After granting the motion of Mr. Hartman's attorney to               
             withdraw, the Court issued an order directing petitioners                 
             to file a status report setting forth:                                    

                  (a) Each and every issue presented in the                            
                       case;                                                           
                  (b) as to each such issue, what efforts                              
                       peti-tioners have made to meet with                             
                       respondent's counsel and to exchange                            
                       documents and other information                                 
                       necessary to agree upon and submit                              
                       the comprehensive stipulations for                              
                       trial required by Rule 91, Tax Court                            
                       Rules of Practice and Procedure; and
