                                         -4-                                          
          in 1994.  Respondent determined that petitioner's gain on the               
          sale of his residence was equal to the net sale price of the                
          property.                                                                   
          C.   Petition                                                               
               Petitioner sent a letter to the Court which was filed as an            
          imperfect petition because it did not comply with our Rules as to           
          the form and content of a petition.  The Court ordered petitioner           
          to file an amended petition.  In the amended petition, petitioner           
          contended that respondent erred in:  (1) Determining that all of            
          the proceeds from the sale of petitioner's residence were capital           
          gain, and (2) imposing a direct tax or an indirect tax on                   
          petitioner's income.                                                        
               At a time not stated in the record after petitioner filed              
          the amended petition, and before trial, respondent conceded that            
          petitioner had an adjusted basis in the residence of $137,386,              
          instead of zero, as determined in the notice of deficiency.                 
          D.   Pretrial Memorandum                                                    
               Petitioner submitted a pretrial memorandum in which he                 
          listed as issues for trial:  (1) Whether respondent violated                
          petitioner's rights of due process of law and equal protection              
          under the law; and (2) whether respondent deprived, took, denied,           
          or disparaged "petitioner of rights with mere 'policy', 'custom',           
          'regulation' and 'color of law', lacking enactment or enabling              
          clause or an appropriate court under Art. III, sec. 2."
