          Background                                                                  
               On July 10, 2003, we filed petitioner’s timely petition for            
          redetermination with respect to his 1998 and 2000 taxable years.1           
          Petitioner resided in Thorofare, New Jersey, when the petition              
          was filed in this case.  The petition contains the following                
          allegations of error:2                                                      
               Virtually all of the taxes shown should be excluded or                 
               dismissed.  There were procedural and legal issues in                  
               the handling of my case that were never properly                       
               addressed.  These relate specifically to the                           
               calculation of depreciation expense.                                   


               This case was first set for trial during the Court’s                   

               1Petitioner also sought a redetermination concerning 1997,             
          but no notice of deficiency for 1997 was attached to the                    
          petition.  By order dated Mar. 4, 2005, we directed petitioner to           
          show cause by Mar. 18, 2005, why his claim for relief with                  
          respect to 1997 should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.           
          Petitioner did not respond.  By order dated Mar. 28, 2005, we               
          dismissed petitioner’s claim regarding 1997 for lack of                     
          jurisdiction.                                                               
               2The petition does not contain a specific allegation                   
          assigning error to respondent’s determination that petitioner is            
          liable for additions to tax under sec. 6651(a)(1).  Because                 
          petitioner did not contest the additions to tax in the petition,            
          they are deemed conceded in accordance with Rule 34(b)(4).
