          Monge v. Commissioner, supra at 31-32; Cantu v. Commissioner,

          Pritchett v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1986-559.                             
               Considering all of the facts and circumstances, we hold                
          that respondent exercised due diligence and mailed the notice of            
          deficiency to petitioners' last known address.  Consequently, we            
          will grant respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of                       
          Jurisdiction.2                                                              
               In order to reflect the foregoing,                                     
                                             An order will be entered                 
                                        granting respondent's Motion to               
                                        Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction.             













          2         Although petitioners cannot pursue their case in this             
          Court, they are not without a legal remedy.  In short,                      
          petitioners may pay the tax, file a claim for refund with the               
          Internal Revenue Service, and, if the claim is denied, sue for a            
          refund in the Federal District Court or the U.S. Court of Federal           
          Claims. See McCormick v. Commissioner, 55 T.C. 138, 142 (1970).
