          Court via Postal Service Express Mail.  The Postal Service                  
          postmark for that mailing bore the date March 31, 2001.                     
          Discussion                                                                  
               Petitioner’s Motion                                                    
               In petitioner’s motion, petitioner asks the Court to dismiss           
          this case for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that the notice            
          of determination is invalid because he did not have an Appeals              
          Office hearing.  In addition to petitioner’s motion, petitioner             
          filed a document entitled “MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF                  
          PETITIONER’S MOTION TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION” (peti-             
          tioner’s memorandum).  We believe that petitioner’s memorandum is           
          a document that was used in another context and that it is not              
          pertinent or relevant to the instant case.  By way of illustra-             
          tion, petitioner’s memorandum refers consistently throughout to             
          petitioner as being a woman, and not a man.3  In addition, peti-            
          tioner’s memorandum identifies respondent’s Appeals Officer who             


               3For example, petitioner’s memorandum states in pertinent              
          part:                                                                       
               Petitioner refused to waive her right to the CDP hear-                 
               ing referred to over and over again in both the law and                
               its implementing regulation.  In addition, Petitioner                  
               expected her daughter (to whom she had given her power                 
               of attorney) to represent her at the hearing since her                 
               daughter is far more articulate then [sic] is peti-                    
               tioner, and she also has a greater understanding of the                
               laws at issue. * * * Petitioner also wanted a court                    
               reporter present at her hearing, so she would have an                  
               official transcript to support any Petition she might                  
               subsequently file with the Tax Court to contest any                    
               adverse CDP determination. * * *  [Emphasis added.]
