                                       - 10 -                                         
          affidavit; namely, that Mr. McCarthy had signed the stipulation             
          of settled issues without authorization.                                    
               On April 25, Mrs. Wolfe sent Mr. Mansour a letter                      
          terminating his services on her behalf and on behalf of WFO.  She           
          instructed him that he was not authorized to represent her or WFO           
          before the Internal Revenue Service or the Tax Court.  She also             
          demanded that Mr. Mansour cease and desist from representing to             
          others that he was an officer of WFO.  Mr. Wolfe admitted that              
          Mr. Mansour advised him of this letter.                                     
               On May 19, 2003, respondent filed a Motion for Entry of                
          Decisions.  In an order dated May 20, 2003, we refused to accept            
          for filing Messrs. Wolfe’s and Mansour’s original and                       
          supplemental submissions related to Mr. McCarthy’s motion to                
          withdraw.  Instead, we permitted petitioners to file a response             
          to respondent’s Motion for Entry of Decisions by June 2, 2003.              
          In refusing to accept the initial submissions, we noted that they           
          violated Rule 50(b), and violated Rules 23(a)(3) and 24 insofar             
          as they purported to be on behalf of Mrs. Wolfe.  The order                 
          specifically referred petitioners to Rule 23(a)(3), which                   
          requires an original signature on papers filed by or for a party,           
          and advised petitioners that submissions purportedly on behalf of           
          Mrs. Wolfe under a “POA” or similar designation would be                    
          disregarded.
