                                       - 11 -                                         
          income for 1977 and 1978 (in addition to the other years in                 
          issue) are erroneous.  Respondent asserts in her answer the same            
          determinations that she made in the notices of deficiency.  In              
          his reply to respondent's answer, petitioner specifically denies            
          respondent's determinations of taxable income for the years in              
          issue, which includes her determinations of other or                        
          miscellaneous income.  Petitioner's denial, in relevant part,               
          states:                                                                     
               Petitioner denies that he ever had any potentially                     
               taxable income even vaguely close to the amount alleged                
               by Respondent, and that his total gross receipts for                   
               the periods in question totaled $12,210,610, exclusive                 
               of Deductions, as follows: [Emphasis added.]                           
          * * *                                                                       
                    1977 -    $2,022,392.00                                           
                    1978 -    $2,926,612.00                                           
          We note that the amounts of taxable income denied by petitioner             
          for 1977 and 1978 are the same amounts of other income petitioner           
          reported on his purported Forms 1040 for 19777 and 1978.                    
               From the record before us on this motion, we conclude that             
          respondent has failed to make a prima facie case that there                 
          exists no genuine issue of material fact regarding petitioner's             
          receipt of other or miscellaneous income in the respective                  
          amounts of $2,000,536 and $2,926,612 for taxable years 1977 and             
          1978.  Although petitioner reported these same amounts as other             

          7    On his purported 1977 Form 1040, petitioner reported other             
          income in the amount of $2,000,536, dividend income in the amount           
          of $8,998, and interest income in the amount of $12,858, for a              
          total amount of income of $2,022,392.
