- 11 - States], * * * EOCC had held mere record title to the Modoc Property, with Petitioners being the beneficia- ries of the title. Accordingly, the * * * [United States] argued that economic interest in the Modoc Property had, since its purchase in the name of * * * EOCC, and including 1989 and 1990, belonged to peti- tioners, not to * * * EOCC. Petitioners further contend, inter alia, in petitioners' motion: 9. Respondent perpetrated a fraud upon this court in failing to disclose that its true determina- tion was that Petitioners had been the owners of the Modoc Property in 1989 and 1990, and requesting the court to enter its Decision which included deficiencies against Petitioners on the basis, in part, that * * * EOCC was the true owner of the Modoc Property. 10. Had Respondent's true determination been disclosed to Petitioners and to this court, Petitioners would not have agreed to the settlement, and this court would not have entered its Decision. Had Respondent disclosed to Petitioners that its true determination was that Petitioners were the owners of the Modoc Property in 1989 and 1990, Petitioners would not have agreed to the settlement which imposed a constructive dividend on them for their occupancy of the residence located on the Modoc Property. Respondent argues that petitioners have not established that this Court should exercise its discretion under Rule 162 to grant them leave to file a motion to vacate the decision in this case. We agree with respondent. There is no evidence in the instant record showing that during the time petitioners' case was pending before us respon- dent's determination with respect to the Modoc property was that petitioners, and not EOCC, were the owners of that propertyPage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Next
