                    Held: insofar as the petition filed herein                        
               purports to be a petition for review of a notice of the                
               filing of a notice of lien pursuant to sec. 6320,                      
               I.R.C., the Court lacks jurisdiction on the ground that                
               R did not make a determination pursuant to that section                
               because R failed to send the written notice prescribed                 
               by sec. 6320(a), I.R.C., to P at his last known                        
               address.                                                               
                    Held, further, insofar as the petition filed                      
               herein purports to be a petition for review of a notice                
               of intent to levy pursuant to sec. 6330(d), I.R.C., the                
               Court lacks jurisdiction on the ground that R did not                  
               make a determination pursuant to sec. 6330, I.R.C.,                    
               because P failed to file a timely request for an                       
               Appeals Office hearing under sec. 6330(a)(2) and (3)(B)                
               and (b), I.R.C.                                                        
                    Held, further, R’s decision to conduct a so-called                
               equivalent hearing did not result in a waiver by R of the              
               time restrictions imposed on P for requesting an Appeals               
               Office hearing pursuant to sec. 6330, I.R.C.                           

               James R. Kennedy, pro se.                                              
               Susan Watson and Wendy S. Harris, for respondent.
