          respondent is essentially placed in the posture of a stakeholder            
          in trying to protect the revenue by resolving the question as to            
          which party is ultimately responsible for the tax liability.  See           
          Estate of Goodall v. Commissioner, supra at 781, 784; L.C. Bohart           
          Plumbing & Heating, Co. v. Commissioner, supra at 616.                      
                                     Conclusion                                       
               Material facts remain in dispute as to whether the subject             
          distributions were made pursuant to valid QRDOs.  We shall deny             
          petitioner's motion for partial summary judgment.                           
               We have considered all of petitioner's arguments for a                 
          contrary holding and, to the extent not addressed above, have               
          found them to be without merit.                                             
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  An appropriate order will           
                                             be issued granting                       
                                             respondent's motion for                  
                                             continuance of trial and                 
                                             denying petitioner's motion              
                                             for partial summary judgment.
