                                        - 4 -                                         
          Code Section 6330(d) challenging the validity of the assessments            
          for the years 1994 through 1997.                                            
               After filing an answer to the petition, respondent filed a             
          Motion for Summary Judgment.  Respondent contends that there is             
          no issue as to a material fact, and that respondent’s                       
          determination to proceed with collection should be sustained as a           
          matter of law.                                                              
               This matter was called for hearing at the Court’s motions              
          session in Washington, D.C.  Counsel for respondent appeared at             
          the hearing and argued in support of respondent’s motion.                   
          Although there was no appearance by or on behalf of petitioner at           
          the hearing, petitioner did file a written statement with the               
          Court pursuant to Rule 50(c) repeating the arguments in the                 
          petition.  Following the hearing, respondent filed a Supplement             
          to Motion for Summary Judgment, attaching thereto Forms 4340 for            
          each of the years in issue.                                                 
          Discussion                                                                  
               Section 6331(a) provides that if any person liable to pay              
          any tax neglects or refuses to pay such tax within 10 days after            
          notice and demand for payment, the Secretary is authorized to               
          collect such tax by levy on the person’s property.  Section                 
          6331(d) provides that at least 30 days prior to enforcing                   
          collection by way of a levy on the person's property, the                   
          Secretary is obliged to provide the person with a final notice of
