               In his motion for summary judgment, petitioner argues, inter           
          alia,3 that (1) the amounts received from his civil rights                  
          lawsuit (hereafter civil action) are excludable from income, (2)            
          he did not receive any income in tax year 1991, (3) the Tax Court           
          is without jurisdiction because of respondent's failure to comply           
          with section 7422, (4) respondent's determination is barred by              
          the 2-year statute of limitations provided in section 6532(b),              
          and (5) respondent is estopped from determining the instant                 
          deficiencies.                                                               
               The facts material to the disposition of the motion for                
          summary judgment are the undisputed facts set out in the                    
          pleadings, the motion for summary judgment, the objection to the            
          motion, and the reply to the objection.                                     
               On his 1990 Federal income tax return, petitioner reported             
          income of $125,316.41, arising from his civil action.4  However,            
          believing such amount to be excludable from gross income,                   
          petitioner did not include the amount as taxable income on his              
          return.  He did report $27,118.33 as Federal income taxes                   
          withheld relating to such income, and therefore his return                  
          indicated an overpayment to be refunded in the amount of                    

          3    We have considered all other arguments made by petitioner in           
          his motion for summary judgment, and have determined such                   
          arguments to be without merit.                                              
          4    Petitioner disclosed the amount of the payment on his tax              
          return by attaching Form 4852 to his return.  The form lists a              
          total payment of $125,316.41 and designates $27,118.33 as Federal           
          income tax withheld.
