               District of Columbia or are employed by the [Federal]                  
               government.                                                            
               We reach the same conclusions with respect to the C.                   
          Shirleys that we reach with respect to the J. Shirleys.  Although           
          the C. Shirleys’ deficiency in tax is less than the J. Shirleys’,           
          the C. Shirleys’ petition clearly evidences their willfulness in            
          disregarding settled principles before they decided to litigate.            
          We, therefore, shall require them to pay a penalty under section            
          6673(a)(1) of $12,500.                                                      
                                             An order of dismissal                    
                                             for lack of jurisdiction will            
                                             be entered in docket No.                 
                                             17076-99.  Appropriate orders            
                                             will be issued, and decisions            
                                             will be entered under Rule               
                                             155 in docket Nos. 10151-99,             
                                             10152-99, 10153-99, 17074-99,            
                                             and 17075-99.
