          Indeed, the fact that the $52,169 was based on time of service              
          and rate of pay points in the direction of its having been                  
          severance pay rather than a payment for personal injury.  See               
          Webb v. Commissioner, supra, which involved the same payor and              
          substantially the same plan as involved herein.                             
               In sum, viewing the facts in a light most favorable to                 
          petitioner, we conclude that respondent has made a prima facie              
          case to support a motion for summary judgment and that petitioner           
          has failed to come forward with countervailing assertions having            
          sufficient specificity to cause us to hold that there is any                
          material issue of fact which requires a trial.  Accordingly, we             
          hold that respondent's motion for summary judgment will be                  
          granted.                                                                    
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              


                                        An appropriate order and decision             
                                   will be entered granting respondent's              
                                   motion for summary judgment.
