          tioner’s July 15, 1999 letter) to the Internal Revenue Service              
          that contained statements, contentions, arguments, and requests             
          that the Court finds to be frivolous and/or groundless.4                    
               Petitioner did not file a petition in the Court with respect           
          to the notice relating to his taxable year 1998.                            
               On January 3, 2000, respondent assessed petitioner’s tax, as           
          well as an addition to tax, a penalty, and interest as provided             
          by law, for his taxable year 1997.  On August 28, 2000, respon-             
          dent assessed petitioner’s tax, as well as a penalty and interest           
          as provided by law, for his taxable year 1998.  (We shall refer             
          to those assessed amounts, as well as interest as provided by law           
          accrued after January 3, 2000, and August 28, 2000, respectively,           
          as petitioner’s unpaid liabilities for his taxable years 1997 and           
          1998.)                                                                      
               On January 3, 2000, and August 28, 2000, respectively,                 
          respondent issued to petitioner notices of balance due with                 
          respect to petitioner’s unpaid liabilities for his taxable years            
          1997 and 1998.  On February 7, 2000, respondent issued a second             
          notice of balance due with respect to petitioner’s unpaid liabil-           
          ity for his taxable year 1997.                                              
               On April 4, 2001, respondent issued to petitioner a notice             


               4Petitioner’s July 15, 1999 letter is very similar to the              
          letters that certain other taxpayers with cases in the Court sent           
          to the Internal Revenue Service in response to the notices issued           
          to them.  See, e.g., Copeland v. Commissioner, supra; Smith v.              
          Commissioner, supra.
