                                       - 12 -                                         

          as an attempt to challenge the validity of the notice of                    
          deficiency under Scar v. Commissioner, supra.  Petitioners assert           
          that their Motion To Vacate Decision was based upon the theory              
          that the stipulated decision entered in their case was the result           
          of a fraud upon the Court.  Petitioners also contend that the               
          Court incorrectly allowed respondent to file a response in                  
          opposition to petitioners' motion for leave without serving                 
          petitioners with the response and allowing petitioners to file a            
          reply to the same.                                                          
               In conjunction with their Motion for Reconsideration,                  
          petitioners contend that their case should be consolidated with             
          Dixon v. Commissioner, docket No. 9382-83--the group of cases               
          that the Court previously consolidated pursuant to the mandate of           
          the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Dufresne v.                   
          Commissioner, 26 F.3d 105 (9th Cir. 1994).  Petitioners argue               
          that                                                                        
               it is an abuse of discretion under the circumstances of                
               the Kersting cases including the massive and continuing                
               fraud committed and condoned by representatives of                     
               Respondent and its Office of Chief Counsel for the                     
               Office of Chief Counsel, and this Honorable Court, to                  
               further attempt to “split off and contain” the illegal                 
               and improper fraudulent conduct of Respondent by                       
               attempting to deal with the overall conspiracy by                      
               ruling on improper actions one at a time, thus                         
               preventing their consolidation into a single action                    
               which may be properly ruled upon by the panel of United                
               States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit which has                
               retained jurisdiction over these matters.
