THE MONEY SHOT

Though I myself have never seen this, I have heard of it. I am sure Judge Rose E. (“Cracklin'”) Jenkins is unaware of the meaning of the phrase first above set forth at the head hereof (as wealthy practitioners would say).

Nevertheless, her order in Annamalai Annamalai & Parvathi Sivanadiyan, Docket No. 2398-23L, filed 3//6/26 might be so called. AA has made five (count ’em, five) trips to Tax Court, two (count ’em, two) of which have featured in this my blog thus far.

One thing about AA. Like a certain advertising rabbit, he just keeps going and going. After Judge Jenkins bounces his document production motion (which I did not blog), he replies to IRS’ winning response, unasked, asks therein for more time to respond to IRS’ summary J motion and for another copy of said motion.

“Petitioners’ unauthorized reply does not change the analysis reflected in the Court’s order. Also enclosed with the reply, contrary to the Court’s January 16, 2026, order, is a motion requesting additional time to respond to respondent’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 131), filed January 30, 2026, as well as requesting another copy of such motion. Given that the Court, in an Order (Doc. 135), issued February 6, 2026, has already extended the time to reply until April 16, 2026, no further extension is warranted, but the Court will enclose another copy of the motion with this Order. Order, at p. 1.

It’s the last sentence of the foregoing paragraph that furnishes the title hereinabove set forth and elsewhere herein referred to (as those wealthy guys would say).

After two (count ’em two) pages of Order and 27 (count ’em, 27) pages of Motion, we get to read ten (count ’em, ten) pages of AA’s account transcripts for years at issue and two (count ’em, two) billets doux, one from IRS counsel to a Bureau of Prisons employee, and one from the AO in the CDP to IRS counsel.

AA, a very wise State Court judge once told me to be very careful what I asked her for, because she might just give it to me. I did. She did. Don’t ask what happened next. It took months to straighten it out.
