            Background                                                                                  
                  Petitioner invoked the jurisdiction of this Court on                                  
            February 20, 1996, by timely filing a petition.  Petitioner                                 
            resided in Columbus, Ohio, at the time the petition was filed.                              
            On April 24, 1996, respondent timely filed an answer to the                                 
            petition denying that respondent erred with respect to the                                  
            determinations set forth in the deficiency notice.  Respondent's                            
            answer includes specific allegations in support of the                                      
            determination that petitioner is liable for additions to tax for                            
            fraud for the years in issue.  Petitioner failed to file a reply                            
            denying the allegations contained in respondent's answer.  Thus,                            
            on June 17, 1996, respondent filed a motion under Rule 37(c) to                             
            have the undenied allegations of fact deemed admitted.                                      
            Petitioner was notified of the filing of respondent's Rule 37(c)                            
            motion by notice of filing dated June 17, 1996.  Petitioner                                 
            failed to respond to the notice of filing and failed to file a                              
            reply to respondent's answer.  We granted respondent's motion on                            
            July 15, 1996.                                                                              
                  Respondent's answer reads, in pertinent part, as follows:                             
                        8.  FURTHER ANSWERING the petition, and in support
