          section 6320 and/or 6330 (notice of determination).  An attach-             
          ment to the notice of determination stated in pertinent part:               
               Verification of Legal and Procedural Requirements                      
               The Secretary has provided sufficient verification that                
               all legal and procedural requirements have been met.                   
               Computer transcripts have been reviewed by Appeals,                    
               verifying the assessment.                                              
               The assessment was made, and notice and demand was                     
               issued on 01/08/2001 by regular mail to the taxpayer’s                 
               last known address, as required under IRC 6303.  The                   
               notices required under IRC 6331(d) and IRC 6330 were                   
               combined in Letter 1058, dated 07/30/2001, which was                   
               mailed certified to the taxpayer’s last known address.                 
               The taxpayer responded with Form 12153, Request for a                  
               Collection Due Process Hearing, which was timely re-                   
               ceived on 08/29/2001.  The taxpayer is entitled to                     
               judicial review.  This is a levy issue only.                           
               A certified transcript was requested and reviewed and a                
               copy was provided to the taxpayer at the hearing.  An                  
               in-person collection due process hearing was held on                   
               03/13/2002.  In attendance were the taxpayer, a tax-                   
               payer witness, Settlement Officer Donna Fisher, and                    
               Appeals Officer Tony Aguiar.  The hearing was audio                    
               recorded by the taxpayer and Settlement Officer Donna                  
               Fisher.                                                                
               Settlement Officer Donna Fisher has had no prior in-                   
               volvement with respect to this tax liability.                          
               Issues Raised by the Taxpayer                                          
               The taxpayer disagrees with the assessment.  He filed a                
               zero income, zero tax due return, attached his W-2 Form                
               showing taxable wages of $19,826.40, and received a                    
               full refund.  The Service completed an audit, and the                  
               taxpayer was issued a statutory notice of deficiency,                  
               dated 08/04/2000.  He received the statutory notice of                 
               deficiency and responded to it with a letter dated                     
               10/06/2000 with one and a half pages of non-filer                      
               arguments.  As such, under the collection due process                  
               procedures, he may not raise as an issue the existence                 
               or amount of the underlying assessment.
