No. MC-09-8005-PHX-DGC

ORDER

Plaintiffs Kenneth and Helen Defoor commenced this action, on November 10, 2009,

by filing a petition to quash summonses issued by the IRS to the three major credit reporting

agencies. Dkt. #1. On January 8, 2010, the United States filed a motion to dismiss for lack

of jurisdiction. Dkt. #3. Plaintiffs have filed no response, and the time for doing so has

expired. See LRCiv 12.1(b), 56.1(d).

The United States has presented evidence showing that the summonses at issue have

been withdrawn. Dkt. ##3-1, 3-2. The United States argues, correctly, that withdrawal of

the summonses renders this action moot by removing the case or controversy before the

Court. Dkt. #3 at 2-3; see Thompson v. United States, No. 2:06-CV-993, 2007 WL 2778663,

at *2 (S.D. Ohio Sept. 21, 2007); Matz v. United States, No. CIV 96-0957-PHX-SMM, 1996

WL 628469, at *2 (D. Ariz. July 24, 1996); Dame v. United States, 643 F. Supp. 533, 534

(S.D.N.Y. 1986). The Court will dismiss the petition.
