                       MEMORANDUM FINDINGS OF FACT AND OPINION                        

               RUWE, Judge:  Respondent determined a deficiency of $40,092            
          in petitioners’ joint 1994 Federal income tax.  The issue for               
          decision is whether petitioners may deduct or must capitalize               
          legal and consulting fees incurred in maintaining a lawsuit                 
          against the seller of a hotel that they had previously purchased.
