                                        - 12 -                                         

          taxpayer may not unilaterally oust the Court from jurisdiction.              
          See Dorl v. Commissioner, 57 T.C. 720, 721-722 (1972).  Because              
          petitioner filed a timely petition in response to valid notices              
          of deficiency, we will deny petitioner's motion to dismiss for               
          lack of jurisdiction.                                                        
               As a final matter, we will dismiss for lack of jurisdiction             
          and strike all allegations in the petition pertaining to                     
          petitioner's tax liability for 1996.  Respondent did not issue a             
          valid notice of deficiency to petitioner for 1996, and we so                 
          hold.                                                                        
               To reflect the foregoing,                                               
                                   An order denying petitioner's                       
                                   motion to dismiss for lack of                       
                                   jurisdiction and dismissing this case               
                                   for lack of jurisdiction and striking               
                                   the allegations in the petition                     
                                   pertaining to the taxable year 1996 will            
                                   be issued.
