          Karlsson v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1997-432; and Vanderschraaf            
          v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1997-306.                                       
               In Acierno v. Commissioner, supra, we found that the Denver-           
          based partnerships that are involved in the instant cases were              
          similar to the Manhattan and Wichita partnerships that were                 
          involved in the lead test cases in the Elektra Hemisphere tax               
          shelter project of Krause v. Commissioner, supra, and accordingly           
          that the limited partners of the Denver-based partnerships who had          
          not settled their cases with respondent were to be bound by the             
          opinion in Krause.  The settlements that most of the movants                
          herein entered into, during 1994 and later years, are consistent            
          with our decisions in Krause and the above-cited related cases              
          (namely, no deductions are to be allowed to the taxpayers relating          
          to their investments in the Elektra Hemisphere tax shelters, and            
          the taxpayers are not to be held liable for additions to tax or             
          penalties other than increased interest under section 6621(c) or            
          its predecessor section 6621(d)) (hereinafter referred to as the            
          no-cash settlements).                                                       
               On an untimely basis, the majority of the movants herein now           
          seek permission from the Court to file notices of election to               
          participate in the instant TEFRA partnership proceedings for the            
          purpose of seeking an order from the Court that would set aside             
          the no-cash settlement agreements that they entered into and that           
          would require respondent to enter into revised settlement
