            petitioner and Mrs. Millsap a "Notice of Jeopardy Assessment and                            
            Right of Appeal" for the taxable years 1988 and 1990 (the second                            
            jeopardy notice).                                                                           
                  Both the first and second jeopardy notices were sent by                               
            certified mail and were addressed to petitioner and Mrs. Millsap                            
            at the Atteiram Drive address.  Both such notices were delivered                            
            to, and receipted by, "Bertha Millsap" on April 24, 1993.                                   
                  Petitioner and Mrs. Millsap filed joint Federal income tax                            
            returns for 1989 and 1991 in January 1993.  Both returns listed                             
            the East 11th Street address as petitioner's and Mrs. Millsap's                             
            home address.2                                                                              
                  Petitioner did not file an income tax return for 1992.                                
                  In mailing the first and second notices of deficiency on                              
            June 11, 1993, respondent utilized the East 11th Street address                             
            because that was the address listed on petitioner's most recently                           
            filed income tax returns.  In mailing duplicate original notices,                           
            respondent utilized the Atteiram Drive address because                                      
            respondent's agents, acting on information furnished by a third-                            
            party earlier in the year, had actually observed petitioner at                              


                  2  Respondent's records indicate that petitioner did not                              
            file an income tax return for 1990.  However, petitioner attached                           
            a copy of a purported joint return for that year to his Rule                                
            50(c) statement.  That copy, however, does not bear the signature                           
            of either petitioner or Mrs. Millsap.  In contrast, that copy                               
            does bear a preparer's signature and the date of Aug. 14, 1991.                             
            Further, that copy lists the East 11th Street address as                                    
            petitioner's and Mrs. Millsap's home address.
