          Background                                                                  
               On September 23, 1994, respondent issued a notice of defi-             
          ciency (notice) to petitioners that determined certain deficien-            
          cies in, additions to, and accuracy-related penalties on their              
          Federal income tax (tax) for 1988, 1989, and 1990.  Respondent              
          determined in the notice, inter alia, that petitioners received a           
          constructive dividend (constructive dividend) during each of the            
          years 1989 and 1990 from an entity called East Oregon Cattle                
          Company (EOCC) in an amount equal to the fair rental value of a             
          house located on property in Jackson County, Oregon (Modoc                  
          property), which respondent determined EOCC owned and in which              
          petitioners lived without paying rent during each of those years.           
               This case was calendared for trial at the Court's trial                
          session in Portland, Oregon, that began on October 2, 1995.  On             
          October 4, 1995, the parties submitted to the Court a stipulated            
          decision document (stipulated decision document) that was signed            
          by counsel for respondent and by petitioners, who were not at               
          that time represented by counsel, and that reflected the agree-             
          ment of the parties as to the amounts, if any, of petitioners'              
          deficiencies in, additions to, and accuracy-related penalties on            
          their tax for the years at issue.  On October 16, 1995, the Court           
          entered a decision in this case pursuant to the agreement of the            
          parties as reflected in the stipulated decision document.
