                                        - 7 -                                         
          Id. at     (slip op. at 3).  As to the second issue, it is well             
          settled in this Court that we review that issue under an abuse of           
          discretion standard.  Id. at      (slip op. at 6).  Because the             
          judicial record at hand does not support our finding of any abuse           
          of discretion on the part of IRS Appeals, we sustain respondent’s           
          determination in full.3                                                     
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for respondent.                          























               3 As to petitioner’s request to allow him to meet with a               
          collection officer to discuss the $8,422.16, petitioner has not             
          set forth in his petition any bona fide argument that makes it              
          “either necessary or productive to remand this case to IRS                  
          Appeals to consider” that amount.  Lunsford v. Commissioner,                
          117 T.C. __, __ (2001) (slip op. at 11) (Lunsford II).  We reject           
          that request on the basis of Lunsford II.
