                                       - 11 -                                         
          to evade taxes, (4) the Government contended that Mr. Jacobsen              
          understated his income for 1987 and 1988 by $58,125, and (5) Mr.            
          Jacobsen accepted the Government’s calculation of the omitted               
          income.                                                                     
               For purposes of the sentencing guidelines, Mr. Jacobsen                
          stipulated that (1) he understated his taxable income in 1987 and           
          1988 by $58,125, (2) the corresponding tax loss (calculated at 28           
          percent) was approximately $16,275, and (3) he “employed the same           
          course of conduct and a common plan with respect to the evasion             
          of taxes in tax years 1987 and 1988, with the relevant conduct *            
          * * consisting of the total tax loss in both years even though              
          the offense of conviction is for tax year 1987.”                            
               In their plea agreements, petitioners acknowledged that the            
          IRS was not a party to the agreements and that when determining             
          their civil tax liabilities, the IRS was not bound by the stated            
          amounts of omitted income in the criminal tax proceeding.                   
               On December 17, 1993, petitioners were convicted of tax                
          evasion under section 7201 for 1987.  They each were sentenced to           
          6 months’ imprisonment, 2 years’ supervised release, and a $50              
          special assessment for the Crime Victims’ Fund.  As a condition             
          of the supervised release, petitioners were required to cooperate           
          with the IRS with regard to civil tax penalties.                            
               Also on December 17, 1993, Mr. Del Bosque was convicted of             
          conspiring to import a substance containing anabolic steroids.
