               David M. Berman and Paul F. Berman, for petitioner.                    
               Timothy R. Maher, for respondent.                                      


               COLVIN, Judge:  Petitioner filed the petition in this case             
          under section 6330(d) seeking our review of respondent’s                    
          determination that use of a jeopardy levy was appropriate.  The             
          sole issue for decision in this Opinion is whether the Tax Court            
          has jurisdiction to review respondent’s determination that a                
          jeopardy levy was appropriate.  We hold that we do.                         
               Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code as                 
          amended.                                                                    
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
               Petitioner resided in Naples, Florida, when he filed his               
          petition.                                                                   
               Petitioner maintained various accounts in a fund known as              
          Evergreen Funds (not otherwise identified in the record).  On               
          November 29, 1999, respondent issued a notice of levy to                    
          Evergreen Funds in an effort to collect petitioner’s unpaid                 
          income tax liabilities for 1987-89.  Also on that day, respondent           
          issued a notice of jeopardy levy and right of appeal to                     
          petitioner relating to those tax liabilities.                               
               Petitioner filed a timely Form 12153, Request for a                    
          Collection Due Process Hearing.  On May 1, 2000, respondent’s
