D. Petitioners' Motions For Leave To File Motion For Decision

from the additions to tax for negligence and from the increased
rate of interest, with attachments and memoranda in support of
the motions. Respondent filed objections, with attachments and
memoranda in support thereof and petitioners thereafter filed
reply memoranda. Petitioners argue that they should be afforded
the same settlement that was reached between other taxpayers and
the IRS in docket Nos. 10382-86 and 10383-86, each of which was
