In the reply to petitioner’s response, respondent repeats the reliance on the Donnoras’ deemed admissions in their docket and on Anthony’s section 7206(2) conviction. Respondent concedes that, if we allow the Donnoras to amend their reply in their docket, then “summary judgment on all the issues [in the instant case] is not proper.” However, respondent contends, respondent would still be entitled to partial summary judgment that petitioner “is collaterally estopped from denying that there was a willful omission of income on Forkston’s corporate income tax returns for 1988 through 1990”. We have ruled that the Donnoras are permitted to amend their reply in their docket. Donnora v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1998-187.
