                                         -2-                                          
          Federal income taxes from petitioner Joseph A. DelVecchio of                
          approximately $189,137.62 for 1987 and $177,448.78 for 1988, and            
          from petitioner Carol DelVecchio of approximately $129,600.27 for           
          1987 and $110,905.53 for 1988.2  The case is before the Court on            
          respondent’s motion for summary judgment under Rule 121.                    
          Petitioners filed a response.                                               
               We shall grant respondent’s motion for summary judgment.               
                                     Background                                       
               Petitioners filed Federal income tax returns for 1987 and              
          1988.  Upon audit, all parties signed Form 872, Consent to Extend           
          the Time to Assess Tax, allowing respondent until December 31,              
          1992, to assess “The amount of any Federal Income tax due on any            
          returns made by or for the above taxpayer(s)” for 1987 and 1988.            
          A notice of deficiency was issued for those years on January 20,            
          1994, and trial was held in this Court on April 21, 1999, in                
          Miami, Florida.  An opinion was issued, holding for respondent.             
          See DelVecchio v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2001-130.3  Decision             
          was entered for respondent on August 9, 2001, and assessment was            
          made on November 13, 2001.  The decision was affirmed by the                
          Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on May 29, 2002.                  


               2 We say “approximately” as these amounts were computed                
          before the present proceeding and have since increased on account           
          of interest.                                                                
               3 In part, the Court decided that petitioners are liable for           
          certain deficiencies and that Joseph DelVecchio is liable for               
          additions to tax for fraud.
