Back around 1966, if my ancient memory is still functioning, the Surgeon General of the USA led the world, inaugurating the warning on cigarette packs that smoking was dangerous to one’s health.

This so impressed me that I kept smoking until September 15, 1994.

Hopefully, His Honor Big Julie, more properly His Honor Judge Julian I Jacobs, hereinafter HHBJJJIJ, has issued a warning that will energize rather than anesthetize petitioners who fail to show up for hearings, when dismissal for want of prosecution is on the agenda.

It may be Valentine’s Day, but HHBJJJIJ isn’t waxing sentimental.

Here’s his designated hitter, Barbara Brose Graybill & John I. Graybill, Docket No. 6545-16S, filed 2/14/17.

Barb & John are on for trial in Philly, but IRS claims they haven’t prosecuted.

So HHBJJJIJ tells Barb & John to show up, because if they don’t:

“FAILURE TO APEAR [sic] BY PETITIONERS MAY RESULT IN THE COURT’S GRANING [sic] RESPONDENT’S MOTION AND THE ENTERING OF A DECISION ADVERSE TO PETITONERS [sic]. “ Order, at p. 1 (Emphasis in original.)
