Background
During 1993 and 1994, petitioner was engaged in the practice
of law. Petitioner operated two law offices that were located at
5526 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and 4429
Westfield Avenue, Pennsauken, New Jersey.
Petitioner reported 1993 and 1994 gross receipts and
expenses associated with his law practice on Schedules C. On his
1993 Schedule C, petitioner reported gross receipts of
$226,739.09 and deductions of $220,717. On his 1994 Schedule C,
petitioner reported gross receipts of $244,569 and expenses of
$224,480.
In August of 1998, petitioner was notified that these cases
were set for the trial session starting on January 11, 1999. The
notice contained the Standing Pre-Trial Order requiring
petitioner to exchange documents expected to be utilized at trial
with respondent at least 15 days prior to the first day of the
trial session. Notwithstanding those explicit instructions,
petitioner neglected to timely present all such documents. As a
result, we excluded certain documents from evidence.
For convenience, we will combine the facts regarding each
issue with our opinion.
