          189 (2001); Martin v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2003-288.                    
          Respondent, however, has expressed a willingness to discuss an              
          installment agreement with petitioners pursuant to proper                   
          procedures.  Under section 6330(d)(2), the IRS retains                      
          jurisdiction of the collection action after the determination is            
          made, and a taxpayer may “request an installment agreement * * *            
          at any time before, during, or after the Notice of Intent to Levy           
          hearing.”  H. Conf. Rept. 105-599, at 266 (1998), 1998-3 C.B.               
          747, 1020.                                                                  
               The Court has considered the remaining arguments raised in             
          petitioners’ pretrial memorandum and finds that they are                    
          unconvincing.                                                               
               Accordingly, the Court holds that the Appeals Office did not           
          abuse its discretion in determining that respondent’s proposed              
          levy should be sustained.                                                   
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for respondent.
