               After concessions by petitioner, the sole issue for decision           
          is whether petitioner is entitled to the dependency exemption for           
          his daughter, under section 151, for each of the years in                   
          question.2                                                                  
               Some of the facts were stipulated, and those facts, with the           
          annexed exhibits, are so found and are incorporated herein by               
          reference.  Petitioner was a legal resident of Anoka, Minnesota,            
          at the time the petition was filed.                                         
               Petitioner was divorced from his wife, Cindy Lou Paulson, on           
          September 28, 1990.  Petitioner and his former wife had one child           
          of their marriage, a daughter, Candi Lynn Paulson, who was born             
          on August 3, 1975.  In a "Second Amended Judgment and Decree",              
          dated December 24, 1990 (the decree), rendered by a Minnesota               
          State court, petitioner's former spouse was awarded "The                    
          permanent sole legal and physical custody, care and control of              

          2                                                                           
               The dependency exemption is the only adjustment in the                 
          notice of deficiency that was placed at issue in the petition.              
          At trial, petitioner affirmed his concession of disallowed                  
          alimony payments for the 3 years at issue, taxable unemployment             
          compensation income for 1992, itemized deduction adjustments for            
          the 3 years at issue, and the addition to tax under sec.                    
          6651(a)(1) for the 3 years at issue.
