                                       - 15 -                                         

          proper notice of settlements to the TMP's under this manual                 
          provision and that the TMP's and other partners did not timely              
          know of cash settlements that were available during 1986, 1987,             
          and 1988.                                                                   
               Also, failure of respondent to comply with the above manual            
          provision would provide little support for granting movants’                
          motions herein.  See United States v. Caceres, 440 U.S. 741                 
          (1979); Keado v. United States, 853 F.2d 1209 (5th Cir. 1988);              
          Lojeski v. Boandl, 788 F.2d 196 (3d Cir. 1986); and United States           
          v. Horne, 714 F.2d 206 (1st Cir. 1983), which provide that                  
          irregularities in following manual provisions not involving                 
          constitutional rights generally will not give rise to legal                 
          remedies.                                                                   
               Further, section 6230(f) expressly provides that the failure           
          of the TMP to provide notice or to perform any act on behalf of             
          any partner, as required by either the statute or the regulations,          
          would not affect the applicability of any partnership proceeding            
          or adjustment to such partner.  Thus, despite the TMP's alleged             
          failure to provide notice to movants of cash settlements that were          
          entered into in 1986 through 1988, movants herein have no right             
          now to require respondent to enter into cash settlements.                   
               Under no statutory or regulatory provision, Court rule, or             
          other basis, was respondent required to give movants herein notice          
          of cash settlements that, during 1986 through 1988, were entered
