119 T.C. No. 17 UNITED STATES TAX COURT JIMMIE L. WILLIAMS AND ANNIE W. WILLIAMS, DECEASED, JIMMIE L. WILLIAMS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent Docket No. 16771-98. Filed December 12, 2002. P, on three separate occasions, advised the Court and R that he had filed petitions in bankruptcy. In each instance, P’s statement that he had filed a bankruptcy petition was intended to invoke the automatic stay on this Court to avoid compliance with this Court’s orders, to avoid trial, and to thwart this Court’s Rules and procedures. On one of the occasions, no petition had been filed and no bankruptcy proceeding commenced. Instead, P submitted a forged bankruptcy document to R and the Court. In each instance where a bankruptcy petition was actually filed, P withdrew the petition and caused the bankruptcy to be dismissed not long after it was instituted. R moved for dismissal of P’s case for lack of prosecution, a penalty under sec. 6673, I.R.C., and a sanction because of P’s disobedience, avoidance, and resistance to this Court’s orders, Rules, decrees, or commands.Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Next
