November 30, 1995, letter referenced the following taxable
periods: 12/31/90, 12/31/92, 12/31/93, and 12/31/94.
In response to Ms. Teichrow’s November 30, 1995, letter,
petitioners stated in a December 11, 1995, letter:
Ms. Teichrow, this writer has no sympathy for the
IRS’ position you assert in your letter(s). Given the
fact that the IRS has, via it’s own internal action,
deliberately intentionally delayed adjudication of the
Hasbrouck appeal, your excuses are understandable - but
they are still merely “excuses.” We believe you are
attempting to justify five months of IRS delays by
imposing unreasonable time constraints on the taxpayer.
We are also without sympathy to the IRS’ position
because, in your letter, you threaten, “...I cannot
proceed with consideration of your case unless I
receive [the extension forms] within ten days from the
date of this [November 30] letter...” That caveat
pretty much ends our relationship. No matter how you
sugar-coat your comments, we believe they can be
interpreted no other way than to be a blatant attempt
at intimidation. Simply stated, we will not be
intimidated by threats - or any other form of
unprofessional conduct.

No unjustified extension of time will be
forthcoming. The 1992 tax deadline is still five
months away. We suspect a reasonable appeals officer
will be able to see the whimsical nature of the tax
examiner’s so-called “decisions” within fifteen minutes
of responsible review. By any mathematical standard,
that still leaves five months time in which to dispose
of the appeal.
Also on December 11, 1995, petitioners wrote to Paul Thornton in
Helena, Montana, whom they identify as respondent's “Regional
Director of Appeals”. In that letter, petitioners stated:
Inasmuch as Teichrow did voluntarily remove herself
from the Hasbrouck tax matter after December 10th, this
correspondence is intended to request that you
