While the election returns have not been posted, an unsigned press release brings us the news that Ch J Maurice B (“Mighty Mo”) Foley has been re-elected as Ch J. His term will extend to 2022.
Congratulations to Ch J Mighty Mo.
And just to show that the election hasn’t at all slowed down the Ch J, or dimmed for a moment his eagle eye, here’s Kellie Marie Yared, Docket No. 158912-19S, filed 2/25/20.
It looked like Kelly Marie and IRS had conclusively chilled Kelly Marie’s bœuf, and a joint stip decision embodying the same was awaiting the ceremonial stamp.
Little did the parties anticipate Ch J Mighty Mo’s eagle eye and well-documented predilection to toss.
“Among other things, that Stipulated Decision determines there is a deficiency in income tax of $11,430 due from petitioner…. The…deficiency notice issued to petitioner…upon which this case is based, however, asserts against petitioner a proposed deficiency of $11,429, not $11,430.” Order, at p. 1.
I don’t know about you, dear reader, but if I could get out of a case by paying an extra buck, I’d be out like a shot.
But don’t do it in USTC while Ch J Mighty Mo is on the watch.
