          Rules 230 through 233.1  Respondent filed responses to both                 
          motions.  Neither party requested a hearing.  Rule 232(a).                  
               Accordingly, we rule on petitioners' motions on the basis of           
          the parties' submissions and the record in this case.  The                  
          underlying issues raised in the petition were settled, and the              
          Court entered a stipulated decision.                                        
               Upon petitioners' subsequent filing of the motions, the                
          decision was vacated and set aside.  The order decreed that the             
          stipulated decision document was to be filed as a Settlement                
          Stipulation.                                                                
               Respondent determined deficiencies in petitioners' Federal             
          income taxes for the taxable years 1991, 1992, and 1993 in the              
          amounts of $102,781, $6,262, and $1,323, respectively.  John C.             
          and Karol Bowden resided in El Paso, Texas, at the time their               
          petition was filed.                                                         
                                     Background                                       
               John Bowden, Inc. (the corporation), was incorporated by
