TO APPEAR MAY RESULT IN DISMISSAL OF THE CASE AND ENTRY OF
DECISION AGAINST YOU.”
On October 17, 2005, this case was called from the calendar
at the Boston trial session. Counsel for respondent and counsel
for petitioner appeared and filed a stipulation of settled issues
between petitioner and respondent, indicating that petitioner was
entitled to relief from joint and several liability pursuant to
section 6015(f) for 2000 and that no income taxes or additions to
tax were due from petitioner. Respondent’s counsel reported to
the Court: “We are unable to obtain an agreement from the
intervenor to sign any sort of decision document.” Intervenor
failed to appear at the calendar call and did not communicate
with the Court beforehand about the scheduled trial.
On November 10, 2005, respondent filed a motion for entry of
decision pursuant to the stipulation of settled issues. On
November 21, 2005, intervenor filed objections to respondent’s
motion for entry of decision. Intervenor objected to
respondent’s motion for entry of decision on the grounds that he
was improperly excluded from pretrial conferences that allegedly
occurred between respondent and petitioner, that he relied on
respondent to fully prosecute this matter against petitioner’s
2(...continued)
motion to impose sanctions with respect to respondent’s motions
to compel discovery, filed Aug. 31, 2005. This Order did not
displace the May 17, 2005, notice setting the case for trial.
