                                        - 9 -                                         
          people her age, she faces the possibility of medical expenses in            
          the future.  Nevertheless, the record shows that petitioner has             
          sufficient assets to pay the amounts respondent seeks to collect,           
          even though petitioner might prefer to retain those assets for              
          other purposes.                                                             
               Accordingly, we sustain respondent’s determination not to              
          release the notice of Federal tax lien due to tax liabilities               
          from 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, and 2001.  We also sustain                     
          respondent’s determination to proceed with levy action for 2000             
          and 2001.  The Appeals officer clearly did not abuse her                    
          discretion, and the amounts of the liabilities for all years are            
          undisputed.                                                                 
               Reviewed and adopted as the report of the Small Tax Case               
          Division.                                                                   
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for respondent.
