Family Trust filed a petition to quash summonses issued by the Internal Revenue Service. On

May 1, 2006, defendants the United States of America and Revenue Agent Fred Chynoweth filed

a motion to dismiss the petition and counter petition for summary enforcement of IRS summons. 

Defendants set the hearing on the motion to dismiss for June 2, 2006. On May 26, 2006, plaintiff

filed a request for continuance of the hearing to July 3, 2006.
