Estate of Doris L. Rickman, Deceased, Doris K. Rickman, Executrix - Page 19

                                       - 19 -                                         

               Finally, we observe that Congress has provided adequate                
          remedies for taxpayers confronted with an inaccurate deficiency             
          determination.  In light of remedies such as shifting the burden            
          of proof to respondent and/or awarding litigation costs,                    
          petitioner's call for an expanded substantive review of the                 
          matters leading to respondent's determination is unwarranted.               
          See Clapp v. Commissioner, 875 F.2d 1396, 1403 (9th Cir. 1989);             
          Powers v. Commissioner, 100 T.C. 457 (1993).                                
          Consistent with the foregoing, we shall deny petitioner's                   
          motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.                                 
          To reflect the foregoing,                                                   


               An order denying petitioner's                                          
          Motion to Dismiss for Lack of                                               
          Jurisdiction, As Amended, and                                               
          petitioner's Motion to Strike will                                          
          be issued.                                                                  









          9(...continued)                                                             
          information contemplated under Rule 70(a) or later through formal           
          discovery requests such as a request for production of documents.
