                                        - 5 -                                         
               On October 16, 1995, the Court received a document from                
          petitioners that was filed as petitioners' Motion for Extension             
          of Time to File Amended Petition.  The Court granted such motion,           
          extending for a month the time within which petitioners were to             
          file a proper amended petition and continuing for hearing                   
          respondent's pending motion to dismiss.                                     
               On November 20, 1995, petitioners filed an Amended Petition            
          alleging that "The Respondent errors in establishing a deficiency           
          for the years 1991, 1992, and 1993."  In this regard, however, we           
          note that respondent only determined a deficiency against                   
          petitioner Rosella M. Friesen for the taxable year 1990 and                 
          against petitioner Darold D. Friesen for the taxable year 1992.             
          Therefore, the amended petition fails to place in dispute one of            
          the two taxable years for which deficiencies were determined and            
          attempts to place in dispute two taxable years for which no                 
          deficiencies were determined.                                               
               Apart from the foregoing, petitioners suggest in their                 
          amended petition that Federal Reserve notes are not a form of               
          legal tender.  Their argument concludes as follows:                         
                    Who may legally take Federal Reserve Notes in                     
               exchange as a[n] acceptable form of payment?  To this                  
               the Petitioner adds that their [sic] exist[s] no legal                 
               way for the Petitioner to satisfy the Commissioner[']s                 
               assessment at any time during this Article I                           
               presentment.                                                           
               Petitioners also continue to argue in their amended petition           
          that they enjoy nonresident alien status.  In this regard they              
          argue as follows:
