                                         - 8 -                                           
               Consistent with the preceding discussion, we conclude that                
          we lack jurisdiction in this case because of petitioner's failure              
          to file a timely petition with the Court.  Accordingly, we will                
          grant respondent's motion to dismiss.2                                         
          An order will be entered                                                       
          granting respondent's Motion to                                                
          Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction.                                              






















               1(...continued)                                                           
          petition was timely filed.  See Lowman v. Commissioner, T.C.                   
          Memo. 1988-157.  Because the 90-day filing period would have                   
          expired on Nov. 22, 1999, the petition was not timely filed.                   
               2  We note that although petitioner cannot pursue his case                
          in this Court, he is not without a remedy.  In short, petitioner               
          may pay the tax, file a claim for a refund with the Internal                   
          Revenue Service, and if the claim is denied, sue for a refund in               
          the U.S. District Court or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.  See              
          McCormick v. Commissioner, 55 T.C. 138, 142 (1970).
