               On July 22, 1992, the test case petitioners represented by             
          Mr. Izen filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's order            
          denying respondent's motion to vacate the decision in the Rina              
          case.  By order dated August 4, 1992, Judge Goffe denied                    
          petitioners' motion for reconsideration.                                    
               In August 1992, the Court entered revised decisions in the             
          Thompson and Cravens cases consistent with Mr. McWade's prior               
          agreements with the taxpayers in those cases.  Specifically, the            
          Court entered the following decisions in the Thompson and Cravens           
          cases:                                                                      
          John R. and Maydee L. Thompson                                              
          Year            Deficiency        Additions to Tax                          
          1979                ---                  ---                                
          1980             $15,000                 ---                                
          1981              15,000                 ---                                
          John R. and E. Maria Cravens                                                
          Year            Deficiency        Additions to Tax                          
          1979             $3,606.40               ---                                
          1980              6,175.76               ---                                
          The decisions entered in the Thompson and Cravens cases are now             
          final.2                                                                     


          2  Mr. Izen and Mr. Sticht filed separate motions with the                  
          Court to intervene in the Thompson and Cravens cases.  The Court            
          denied these motions to intervene.  Although Mr. Izen and                   
          Mr. Sticht filed separate appeals in the Thompson and Cravens               
          cases with various courts, including the Courts of Appeals for              
          the Second, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits, all appeals in the                   
          Thompson and Cravens cases eventually were dismissed.  In an                
          unpublished opinion filed June 15, 1994, the Court of Appeals               
          for the Ninth Circuit stated:                                               
                                                             (continued...)
