                                        - 7 -                                         

               Petitioner did not maintain accurate accounting books and              
          records of the funds he received from sale of S-J partnership               
          interests.                                                                  
               On petitioner's individual 1976 Federal income tax return              
          that was filed untimely, petitioner did not report the above                
          $1,968,364 that he received from sale of S-J partnership                    
          interests, and petitioner claimed ordinary losses of $9,499,701             
          relating to alleged investments in the S-J partnerships.  During            
          the audit, petitioner did not cooperate with respondent's                   
          examining agents.                                                           
               In respondent's notice of deficiency for 1976, respondent              
          determined that petitioner, in 1976, received income of                     
          $1,968,364 from sale of S-J partnership interests that was not              
          reported on petitioner's 1976 Federal income tax return.                    
          Respondent also disallowed $9,269,756 of the claimed $9,499,701             
          in losses relating to the S-J partnerships primarily on the                 
          ground that the alleged advanced royalties were not deductible.             
          Further, respondent determined that petitioner was liable for the           
          fraud addition to tax under section 6653(b).2                               

          2    In respondent's motion for partial summary judgment,                   
          respondent asserts that an additional $229,945 of the $9,499,701            
          claimed loss relating to the S-J partnerships should be                     
          disallowed.  Respondent apparently seeks to increase the tax                
          deficiency set forth in respondent's notice of deficiency to                
          reflect this additional loss disallowance.  Respondent has not              
          raised this increased deficiency in the answer or by motion to              
          amend the pleadings, and we decline to allow respondent to raise            
                                                             (continued...)
