             Commissioner, 84 T.C. 693, 706 (1985) (“On numerous                      
             occasions, we in essence have defaulted or dismissed                     
             issues for failure to brief them.  Generally, we have                    
             accomplished this result by considering the issue waived or              
             conceded.”), affd. without published opinion 789 F.2d 917                
             (4th Cir. 1986); Lime Cola Co. v. Commissioner, 22 T.C.                  
             593, 606 (1954) (“Petitioners in their brief do not argue                
             anything about transferee liability; and, although they do               
             not expressly abandon the issue of transferee liability,                 
             we presume they no longer press it.”); Stonegate of                      
             Blacksburg, Inc. v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1974-213                    
             (“Since petitioner did not consider this issue in either                 
             its original or reply briefs, we consider it to have been                
             conceded.”).                                                             
                  Second, petitioners’ entire argument concerning the                 
             unreported income issue is directed toward the payments                  
             that petitioner received from BMAP.  Petitioners raise no                
             defense concerning the payments that petitioner received                 
             from the four other entities, Sing-Sing, Gerre Trans,                    
             Richman & Sons, and Camden City Probation, that are                      
             identified in the notices of deficiency.  Accordingly,                   
             we hereby sustain respondent’s determination as to the                   
             payments received from those entities.
