          1271 Milligan Street, Camarillo, California.  Petitioner failed             
          to report $4,257 of capital gains income from the sale of this              
          property.  Petitioner also received referral fee income from                
          Attorney William Bogue for referring clients to Mr. Bogue;                  
          neither party introduced evidence as to the amounts of the                  
          referral fees.

          ownership of the Union Exploration stock, petitioner received               
          distributions of $1,812 and $5,654 in 1985 and 1987,

          petitioner in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of           
          California.  The indictment alleged that petitioner willfully               
          attempted to evade or defeat his 1985, 1986, and 1987 income                
          taxes in violation of section 7201, and that petitioner violated
