Appx. 471 (9th Cir. 2003), we observed that petitioner failed to file Federal income tax returns for 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998, and we sustained the Commissioner’s determinations that petitioner was liable for deficiencies and additions to tax for each of those taxable years. In addition, we imposed a penalty upon petitioner pursuant to section 6673(a) in the amount of $10,000 on the ground that his arguments were meritless and asserted solely for purpose of delay.3 The record in the present case includes a Form 4340 (Certificate of Assessments, Payments, and Other Specified Matters) which demonstrates that, on September 9, 2002, respondent entered assessments against petitioner for the taxable year 1995 reflecting the tax deficiency, additions to tax, and penalty under section 6673(a) set forth in the Court’s decision at docket No. 6655-00, as well as statutory interest.
