          San Francisco, California (Sanchez Street property), in excess of           
          the amount that he reported?  We hold that he is.                           
               (6)  Is petitioner entitled to deduct for each of the years

               The Court held the trial in this case on October 19, 1999.             
          At that trial, petitioner appeared pro se.  Sometime after the              
          trial in this case, and before the posttrial briefs were due,               
          petitioner retained counsel.  On December 16, 1999, petitioner,             
          through that counsel, filed, inter alia, a motion to open the               
          record in order to receive additional evidence (petitioner’s                
          motion).  By Order dated March 31, 2000 (March 31, 2000 Order),             
          the Court granted petitioner’s motion and calendared a further              
          trial in this case to commence on August 21, 2000.  The March 31,           
          2000 Order directed the parties in pertinent part, as follows:
