                                       - 20 -                                         
          trial.  We are reluctant to find that respondent abused her                 
          discretion here when, for all the record shows, she was not even            
          timely requested to exercise it.  See Wilson v. Commissioner,               
          T.C. Memo. 1995-525 (citing Haught v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo.              
          1993-58; Lapin v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1990-343, affd.                  
          without published opinion 956 F.2d 1167 (9th Cir. 1992).                    
          Accordingly, respondent is sustained on this issue.                         
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for respondent.
