               Michael I. Sanders, Craig A. Etter, and Timothy J. Jessell,            
          for petitioners.                                                            
               Kathleen E. Whatley, for respondent.                                   


                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION                                   
               CHABOT, Judge:  This matter is before the Court on                     
          respondent’s motions for partial summary judgment1 under Rule               
          121.2  The instant cases have been consolidated for opinion.                
               Respondent asks the Court to determine that, on the date the           
          notices of deficiency were issued, the statute of limitations for           
          assessment of Federal income tax had closed petitioners’ 1985               
          year and that year had not been reopened by the mitigation                  
          provisions of sections 1311-13143.  We decide these motions on              
          the basis of the parties’ pleadings and written submissions, and            



          1                                                                           
               If respondent’s motions are granted, then there will not be            
          any issue remaining to be decided, and decisions will be entered.           
          Accordingly, respondent’s motions are treated as motions for                
          summary judgment.                                                           

          2                                                                           
               Unless indicated otherwise, all Rule references are to the             
          Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.                                  
          3                                                                           
               References to secs. 1311-1314 are to sections of the                   
          Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as in effect for determinations (as           
          defined in sec. 1313(a)) made in or after 1992; references to               
          sec. 83(b) are to that provision of the Internal Revenue Code of            
          1954 as in effect for 1983; unless indicated otherwise, all other           
          section references are to sections of the Internal Revenue Code             
          of 1954 as in effect for 1985.
