                                        - 4 -                                         
          Therefore, even if petitioner did overpay his 1997 tax, a matter            
          as to which we express no opinion, we do not have jurisdiction to           
          determine any overpayment for that year.  See Stewart v.                    
          Commissioner, supra.  Petitioner’s request to the Court to                  
          determine an overpayment in tax for 1997 in order to redetermine            
          a deficiency in 1998 is expressly beyond the Court’s                        
          jurisdiction.                                                               
                                                  An appropriate order will           
                                             be issued granting                       
                                             respondent’s motion to dismiss           
                                             for lack of jurisdiction and             
                                             to strike the related portions           
                                             of the pleadings.
