In the Order of April 22, 2010, Respondent was provided with fourteen days, from the date of service, within which to show cause why he should not be compelled to obey the IRS summons. (Doc. 4 at 1.) Respondent was also ordered to respond to the Petition. (Doc. 4 at 2.) On May 19, 2010, Respondent filed pleadings entitled "Answer and Negative Averment and Compulsory Counterclaim" and "Notice of Appointment of Fiduciary, Notice by Special Visitat[i]on, Not by General Appearance." (Docs. 6 & 8.) This Court strikes the pleadings for the reasons that follow. Both pleadings are both unintelligible and unresponsive. Significantly, Respondent fails to show cause why he should not be compelled to obey the IRS summons. Both pleadings are hereby STRICKEN and the Clerk of the Court is directed to return the documents to Respondent at the address he has provided to the Court. Further, it is hereby ORDERED that Respondent shall be given a second and final opportunity to explain why he should not be compelled to obey the November 12, 2009, IRS summons. Additionally, Respondent will be given a second and final opportunity to respond to the Petition. Respondent is cautioned however that he may not make fiduciary appointments such as those referenced in both of his May 19, 2010, pleadings. (See Doc. 6 at 5-6 & Doc. 8.) In accordance with the above, Respondent shall have to and including June 15, 2010, within which to address the deficiencies identified herein.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated:
May 25, 2010
