                                        - 6 -                                         
               alternatives to the Levy action have been proposed.  No                
               other issues concerning this matter have been raised.                  
          Respondent further noted that petitioner was not in compliance              
          with her return filing requirements for subsequent years and                
          therefore would not be eligible for a collection alternative even           
          had she proposed one.                                                       
               Upon receiving the notice of determination, petitioner filed           
          a petition with this Court pursuant to section 6330(d).  In her             
          petition she claimed that she was not provided with a fair CDP              
          hearing because:  (1) She was not permitted to audio record her             
          CDP hearing; (2) the officer was not impartial; (3) the officer             
          did not provide verification that the requirements of applicable            
          law or administrative procedure were met; and (4) she was denied            
          her right to raise “any relevant issue relating to the proposed             
          levy.”                                                                      
                                     Discussion                                       
               Summary judgment is intended to expedite litigation and                
          avoid unnecessary and expensive trials.  Fla. Peach Corp. v.                
          Commissioner, 90 T.C. 678, 681 (1988).  Summary judgment may be             
          granted with respect to all or any part of the legal issues in              
          controversy “if the pleadings, answers to interrogatories,                  
          depositions, admissions, and any other acceptable materials,                
          together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no                 
          genuine issue as to any material fact and that a decision may be            
          rendered as a matter of law.”  Rule 121(b); see Sundstrand Corp.
