PER CURIAM:

Keith Robertson appeals the tax court’s order denying his 

request for a continuance and dismissing his petition for 

failure to prosecute. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by 

the tax court. Robertson v. Comm’r, Tax Ct. No. 4947-14 (U.S. 

Tax Ct. Mar. 10, 2015). We deny Robertson’s motions to remand 

and we dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal 

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before 

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
