                                       - 10 -                                         
          In order to support his arguments, petitioner has selectively               
          picked phrases out of context from statutes and rulings.  In so             
          doing, petitioner has chosen to ignore more current or complete             
          statements of the law.  In that same vein, petitioner has chosen            
          to ignore and/or not follow case precedent and interpretation of            
          the statutory law.                                                          
               Under these circumstances we are convinced and hold that               
          petitioner’s position in this proceeding is frivolous and has               
          been interposed primarily to protest the tax laws of this country           
          and/or to delay collection activity by respondent.  Accordingly,            
          we hold that petitioner is liable for a $1,500 penalty under                
          section 6673(a)(1).                                                         
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              


                                             An appropriate order and                 
                                        decision will be entered granting             
                                        respondent’s motion for summary               
                                        judgment.
