          Commissioner, 116 T.C. 255, 262 (2001) (holding that the                    
          Commissioner may not waive the time restrictions imposed in                 
          section 6330).                                                              
               On the basis of the foregoing, we hold that we lack                    
          jurisdiction inasmuch as the petition was not timely filed with             
          the Court.  Accordingly, we shall grant respondent’s motion to              
          dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.                                           
               Petitioner also contends that the Appeals Office issued the            
          notice of determination without conducting an administrative                
          hearing.  In Lunsford v. Commissioner, 117 T.C. 159, 164 (2001),            
          we recently held that we shall not look behind a notice of                  
          determination to consider whether the Appeals Office conducted an           
          administrative hearing.  Consistent with our holding in Lunsford            
          we hold that the notice of determination issued to petitioner is            
          valid.                                                                      
               We have considered petitioner’s remaining arguments and find           
          them to be meritless.                                                       
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  An order of dismissal               
                                             for lack of jurisdiction                 
                                             will be entered.
