                    On Apr. 17, 2003, R issued to P a Notice of                       
               Determination Concerning Collection Action(s).  In the                 
               notice, R conceded that it was improper to propose to                  
               levy on P’s property prior to a final determination                    
               regarding her claims for relief under sec. 6015, I.R.C.                
               On the other hand, R determined that filing the notice                 
               of Federal tax lien with regard to P’s tax liabilities                 
               for 1989 to 1994 was appropriate despite her pending                   
               claims for relief under sec. 6015, I.R.C.                              
                    P filed a timely petition for lien or levy action                 
               under secs. 6320 and 6330, I.R.C., challenging R’s                     
               notice of determination on the ground that R was barred                
               from filing a Federal tax lien against P prior to the                  
               entry of a final determination respecting her claims                   
               for relief under sec. 6015, I.R.C.  R filed a motion                   
               for summary judgment.  P filed an objection to R’s                     
               motion.                                                                
               Held:  R was not barred under secs. 6015, 6320, or                     
               6330, I.R.C., from filing a Federal tax lien against P                 
               prior to the entry of a final determination respecting                 
               P’s claims for relief from joint and several liability                 
               under sec. 6015, I.R.C.  Held, further, R’s motion for                 
               summary judgment will be granted.                                      


               Joyce E. Beery, pro se.
