                    A statutory notice of deficiency was issued to                    
               your last known address on November 17, 1999 for 1997                  
               but you failed to act upon this statutory notice.  You                 
               failed to petition the United States Tax Court for                     
               redetermination.  Thus, under IRC �6330(c)(2)(B), you                  
               are precluded from challenging the underlying liability                
               for 1997 because you had a previous opportunity to                     
               dispute such liability.                                                
               * * * I have scheduled a telephonic conference for

               scheduled hearing.                                                     
               Petitioners did not respond to the Appeals officer’s Decem-            
          ber 7, 2000 letters.  Nor did petitioners advise the Appeals                
          officer that they objected to the telephonic hearing scheduled on           
          December 20, 2000, and wanted a face-to-face hearing.

          Appeals Office hearing with Mr. Frank with respect to the notice            
          of intent to levy.5  Prior to the Appeals Office hearing, the               
          Appeals officer gave petitioners a literal transcript of account            
          (so-called MFTRAX) with respect to their taxable year 1997.                 
               On February 13, 2001, the Appeals Office issued a notice of            
          determination concerning collection action(s) under section 6320            
          and/or 6330 (notice of determination) to Mr. Frank and a separate

          Office hearing held on Dec. 20, 2000.
