- 4 - unless otherwise agreed by the parties or allowed by the Court for good cause shown. It is further ****** * ORDERED that all parties shall be prepared for trial at any time during the term of the trial session unless a specific date has been previously set by the Court. * * * When this case was called on May 15, 2000, petitioner and counsel for respondent appeared. In violation of the standing pretrial order, petitioner had not cooperated with respondent in preparing this case for trial. No stipulation of facts had been signed despite respondent’s efforts and petitioner’s representations that he would enter into a stipulation. Also in violation of the standing pretrial order, petitioner had with him at least five boxes of records many of which had not been previously made available to respondent. The parties agreed in open court that petitioner’s filing status for the years in issue was married filing jointly. Petitioner’s wife, Rafaela B. Lopez, stated in open court that she consented to this treatment. Because this case was not ready for trial, the Court continued the matter for trial to be held in Washington, D.C., within 90 days. The Court ordered that petitioner cooperate with respondent in preparing this case for trial and provide his records in an organized fashion to respondent. The Court also ordered that the parties meet immediately after the calendar call to facilitate negotiations and arrange for the exchange of documents.
