            Consequently, under the circumstances here, at this late date in                          
            the litigation proceedings, long after trial and briefing and                             
            after the issuance of numerous opinions on issues and facts                               
            closely analogous to those in these cases, petitioners' motions                           
            for leave are not well founded.  Farrell v. Commissioner, supra.                          
                  Even if petitioners' motions for leave were granted, the                            
            arguments set forth in each of petitioners' motions for decision                          
            and attached memoranda, lodged with this Court, are invalid and                           
            the motions would be denied.  Therefore, and for reasons set                              
            forth in more detail below, petitioners' motions for leave shall                          
            be denied.                                                                                
                  Some of our discussion of background and circumstances                              
            underlying petitioners' motions is drawn from documents submitted                         
            by the parties and findings of this Court in two earlier                                  
            decisions.  See Estate of Satin v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1994-                         
            435; Fisher v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1994-434.  These matters                          
            are not disputed by the parties.  We discuss the background                               
            matters for the sake of completeness.  As we have noted, granting                         
            petitioners' motions for leave would require further proceedings.                         
                  The Estate of Satin and Fisher cases involved Stipulation of                        
            Settlement agreements (piggyback agreements) made available to                            
            taxpayers in the Plastics Recycling project, whereby taxpayers                            
            could agree to be bound by the results of three test cases:                               
            Provizer v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1992-177, and the two Miller
