ORDER
L. PAIGE MARVEL JUDGE
On September 3, 2024, the parties filed a Joint Status Report stating, among other things, that a conference took place on October 19, 2023, between petitioner and the Independent Office of Appeals and that the case has not yet been resolved. Respondent anticipates filing a motion to consolidate this case with Thompson Timberlands, LLC, Mitigation Resources Group, LLC Tax Matters Partner v. Commissioner, Dkt. No. 28455-21 and is awaiting a response from petitioner as to whether they object to a consolidation. If the cases are consolidated, the parties will likely request a special trial session in the fall of 2025. The parties are also discussing a potential stipulation to be bound in lieu of a consolidated special trial session. The parties request additional time to attempt to resolve the issues in this case and/or for trial preparation and request the Court to order an additional joint status report in 180 days. Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that on or before March 3, 2025, the parties shall file a joint status report regarding the then-current status of this case.
