                    P’s case was called for trial.  R subsequently                    
               filed a Motion to Permit Levy pursuant to sec.                         
               6330(e)(2), I.R.C.                                                     
                    Held:  P's challenges to R's notice of                            
               determination are frivolous and groundless.  R's notice                
               of determination is sustained.                                         
                    Held, further, P is barred from challenging the                   
               existence or amount of the underlying tax liabilities                  
               for the years in issue, and R has shown good cause for                 
               lifting the suspension of the levy.  R’s Motion to                     
               Permit Levy is granted.                                                
                    Held, further, a penalty under sec. 6673, I.R.C.,                 
               is due from P and is awarded to the United States in                   
               the amount of $2,500.                                                  

               Kevin P. Burke, pro se.                                                
               Robin M. Ferguson and Stephen S. Ash, for respondent.                  


               WHERRY, Judge:  Petitioner invoked the Court’s jurisdiction            
          under sections 6320 and 6330 in response to a Notice of                     
          Determination Concerning Collection Action(s) Under Section 6320            
          and/or 6330 regarding his unpaid Federal income taxes for 1993,             
          1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997.1  Respondent’s Office of Appeals                
          (Appeals Office) determined that it was appropriate to file a               
          Federal tax lien against petitioner and that petitioner’s unpaid            
          taxes should be collected by levy.
