                                       - 13 -                                         

          property which respondent determined was owned by EOCC, or on any           
          other determination that respondent made in the notice.  The                
          Court entered its decision in this case based on the agreement of           
          the parties reflected in the stipulated decision document as to             
          the amounts of any deficiencies in, additions to, and accuracy-             
          related penalties on petitioners' tax for 1988, 1989, and 1990.             
               On the record before us, we find that petitioners have                 
          failed to establish that respondent's conduct while petitioners'            
          case was pending before this Court rises to the level of "an                
          intentional plan of deception designed to improperly influence              
          the Court in its decision", Abatti v. Commissioner, 86 T.C. at              
          1325, let alone that any such plan, if it had been established by           
          petitioners, "has had such an effect on the Court", id.  We                 
          further find that petitioners have failed to show that the                  
          decision entered in this case is the result of any other situa-             
          tion that warrants our exercise of our discretion under Rule 162            
          to grant petitioners' motion.                                               
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              


                                                  An order will be issued             
                                             denying petitioners' motion              
                                             for leave to file a motion to            
                                             vacate decision out of time              
                                             embodying petitioners' motion            
                                             to vacate decision.
