                                        - 9 -                                         
               In the "attached supporting forms", petitioner alleges,                
          inter alia, that the 50 States are excluded from the definition             
          of "United States" for purposes of the income tax under subtitle            
          A of the Internal Revenue Code.  Petitioner further alleges that            
          although he is a resident of Chesterton, Indiana, he is neither a           
          "U.S. Citizen" nor a "resident" or "inhabitant" of the United               
          States.  Petitioner basically concludes that all income received            
          by him is not taxable because it constitutes "compensation for              
          labor or personal services performed without the United States".            
          Petitioner finishes by attempting to revoke his signature on all            
          prior Federal income tax returns.  Thus:                                    
                    I hereby REVOKE all signatures, of the property                   
               known as CRAIG BRATCHER, that appear on every 1040 Form                
               (Codicil), including, but not limited to, the                          
               "original" 1040 Forms and any/all other federal forms                  
               and documents for the years 1958 through 1993.                         
          Discussion                                                                  
               Rule 40 provides that a party may file a motion to dismiss             
          for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.              
          We may grant such a motion when it appears beyond doubt that the            
          party's adversary can prove no set of facts in support of a claim           
          which would entitle him or her to relief.  Conley v. Gibson, 355            
          U.S. 41, 45-46 (1957); Price v. Moody, 677 F.2d 676, 677 (8th               
          Cir. 1982).                                                                 
               Rule 34(b)(4) requires that a petition filed in this Court             
          contain clear and concise assignments of each and every error
