               deficiencies, and, therefore, there is no basis for                       
               assessment and collection of the tax.  R moved to                         
               dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief                    
               can be granted.                                                           
                    Held:  The Tax Court has jurisdiction to review a                    
               determination pursuant to sec. 6330(c) and (d), I.R.C.                    
               Held, further, where P timely received a statutory                        
               notice of deficiency, yet he failed to file a petition                    
               for redetermination with the Court, P was precluded                       
               from contesting the issue of the underlying tax                           
               liability during Appeals Office consideration pursuant                    
               to sec. 6330(c)(2)(B), I.R.C.  Held, further, P's                         
               petition for review of R's administrative determination                   
               to proceed with collection fails to state a claim upon                    
               which relief can be granted.  See sec. 6330(d), I.R.C.;                   
               Rule 331(b)(4) and (5), Tax Court Rules of Practice and                   
               Procedure.                                                                


               Howard Goza, pro se.                                                      
               Ashton P. Trice and Richard Goldman, for respondent.
