- 8 - by this Court under number 3318-89. On January 4, 1995, petitioners filed a petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. On January 4, 1995, the partnership proceeding under Tax Court docket No. 3318-89 was still pending. The filing of the petition in bankruptcy converted petitioners' partnership items to nonpartnership items under section 6231(b)(1)(D) and (c)(2), and section 301.6231(c)- 7T(a), Temporary Proced. & Admin. Regs., 52 Fed. Reg. 6779, 6793 (March 5, 1987). On April 11, 1995, petitioners received a bankruptcy discharge under Chapter 7. The discharge lifted the automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. sec. 362(a)(8) and (c)(2)(C) (1994) and allowed this Court to enter an order on July 11, 1995, dismissing the case at docket No. 3318-89 as moot because, due to the effect of the bankruptcy of petitioners and another partner and settlements of other partners, there were no partnership items to be readjusted. On November 13, 1995, respondent issued a notice of deficiency to petitioners in connection with their interest in the partnership (the 1995 notice). Petitioners did not file a petition with this Court in response to the 1995 notice. On February 6, 1996, respondent rescinded the 1995 notice with petitioners' consent, under section 6212(d).
